          Description
              The building was recorded in 2013 by ARS. No 23 as constructed between 1886-1898- (more likely closer to 1886) replacing earlier buildings. It is difficult to recognise in the trade directories due to renumbering and demolition of buildings on the street. Fire Insurance Plans of 1927 state that the building was in use as a clothing warehouse. The ground floor may have originally functioned as a shop as the present shop front appears original. A number of original features, including a fireplace, exist on the first floor.
