NIAH building record

Built: c.1790 · NIAH rating: Regional

This building appears to be a late Georgian replacement of an earlier building, maintaining many features of interest, such as a graduated fenestration pattern, dating it to no later than the turn of the nineteenth century. Its form and massing contribute to the historic streetscape. It has Victorian interior detailing, including a simple, but decorative cornice. Although altered, the building retains many small decorative details and makes an important contribution to this historic street.
