Appraisal
Dolan's is a pleasant example of vernacular town architecture, which contributes to the character of the street. Its modest proportions, which are enhanced by details including contrasting pebbledash and smooth render, timber windows and pubfront makes this building a notable addition to the streetscape. This building had a thatched roof until 1926. An early-twentieth century photograph shows six-over-six sliding sash windows with the present integral arch shown with a round-headed arch ( Information supplied by owner J.J. Dolan, photograph in owner's possession).
