Appraisal
This building maintains the parapet height and fenestration arrangement of its neighbouring buildings, contributing positively to the horizontal aspect of the streetscape. It is characterised by an absence of superfluous ornament but its architectural design can be seen in the decreasing scale of fenestration, enhanced by the retention of early fabric including structural brickwork. Although it has been somewhat altered, the shopfront to the ground floor provides both visual and contextual interest to the building.
