Appraisal
An attractive building of modest appearance, incorporating a fine timber pubfront of artistic design distinction. Originally including distinctive architectural features, such as bipartite or tripartite window openings, extensive renovation works throughout the twentieth century have eroded some of the character of the composition. Nevertheless, the house remains an integral component of the streetscape, and contributes to the visual appeal of Convent Street (Tallowbridge Street).
