This building was modernised in 1902 for the use of Lerwick grocer T J Anderson. Although of later date than its neighbours, it still conforms to the traditional pattern of gable ends to the Market Cross and as such makes a valuable contribution to the streetscape. It is also a particularly prominent feature of the town centre when viewed from the harbour.
