Appraisal
Large window openings to the upper floors of this building and the elegant simplicity of the shopfront, create an attractive façade. The recessed shop entrance imply a shop of superior quality, recognising the impact of a well-defined entrance. It is also significant as it occupies a prominent position at a major junction.
