Appraisal
A substantial and well-proportioned townhouse reflecting the building style of the adjacent properties in this important early nineteenth-century terrace. Despite the loss of much of its historic fabric, the front and rear facades have been retained and the former coach house adapted successfully. The building is an integral part of the urban fabric of Grattan Street and its presence is a positive contribution to the streetscape.
