Why it mattered
E. Shanahan — Main Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This building is distinguished in the terrace by its height and dormer windows, which make an interesting punctuation in the roofline. Retaining much of its original form, the façade is enhanced by the timber sash windows and decorative shopfront. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
