Weld’s is a well-maintained modest-scale building that presents an asymmetrical façade to the street front, but which appears to have originally been conceived as a symmetrically-designed building. Low-lying, the building continues the established street line along the bank of the Grand Canal. Although altered considerably over the years, the building retains an early character, while the fenestration to left ground floor is an important survival. Also of interest is the timber fascia with rendered cornice over, which is typical of the modest shopfronts that grace a number of rural public houses in the region – the fascia is one of a pair with that on the adjacent building to north-west (11806002/KD-13-06-02).
