Local notes
Architecture
Characterized by multiple gables and oriel windows, this elaborate commercial building was constructed as a retail outlet and offices to the design of George P. Sheridan (1865-1950). The impressive façade extends along Nos. 4-5 Church Lane and dramatically terminates the vista from St. Andrew Street.
