Appraisal
Situated within a terrace of historic houses, this fine building displays many features of architectural interest including a curious render shopfront, moulded window surrounds and decorative quoins. Decorative foliate motifs to its decorative shopfront, possibly based on classical acanthus design, greatly enliven the façade of this fine building. This work was probably influenced by the elaborate work of Pat McAuliffe who worked on many buildings within the area.
