Description
This double storey, brick shop occupies a prominent corner position in Main Street. The main façade of the building retains its central doorway, with a shop window either side (these were once triple-fronted but are now single panes set in timber-frames). Above, there are two double-hung sash windows. The façade is very plain, with a moulded string course on the parapet the only decoration. To the rear is a timber skillion structure. Overall, the building appears little altered, with the painting of the brickwork the most dominant change.
