Located on The Square, this imposing building exhibits finely executed render detailing, highlighting its architectural design. Features such as the stucco panel to the side elevation, window and door surrounds and the corbel detailing under the sills enliven the façade, while the skillfully crafted limestone door surround stands out from this render-dominated elevation, forming an interesting contrast. These features assist in making this structure an integral part of the streetscape of Clara.
