Appraisal
This building, purpose-built to accommodate commercial use to ground floor with residential accommodation over, has been very well maintained to present an original aspect. The building is distinguished by an intact original shopfront of artistic design quality. The building, together with the neighbouring building immediately to south-west (22502368/WD-5632-21-1388), forms a distinctive impression in Barrack Street, and contributes to the historic character of the streetscape.
