NOTES
Additional Information:Two-story cream brick load-bearing building with superb and unusual decorative brickwork. Inset bricks around second story round-arched in windows create a denticulated pattern; projecting bricks in a diaper pattern above. First floor originally neo-classical in design with classical piers and garlands in frieze, altered in 1950s, original entrance at 45 degree corner. The side facade is original with diaper patterned bricks above the stringcourse and a shingled frame oriel bay window. An attached one-story rear wing is cream brick. Pivotal building for its fine brickwork and prominent corner location.
