A small-scale range purpose-built accommodating commercial and residential spaces in a wholly-integrated composition exhibiting attributes indicating connections with Mrs. Mary O'Connor (1837-1927), contractor, or the prevailing influence of the output of that company (see 15502011 - 12 or 15505006 - 07) including the lively construction in red brick with yellow brick dressings producing a polychromatic visual effect redolent of the period of construction: supplementary attributes, including the profile of the openings, the battlemented parapet articulating the roofline, and so on, all further enliven the architectural value of the composition while a simple shopfront identifies the artistic design potential of the site in Main Street South.
