Appraisal
This house, which probably incorporates fabric of an earlier house dating to the planning of Main Street, has been renovated to ground floor in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original form. The first floor, however, retains most of its early character, with original features and materials in situ, including timber sash fenestration. The replacement shopfront to ground floor is not a positive addition to the composition, composed in an irregular fashion that does not complement the attractive and simple arrangement of openings to the first floor. The house is of importance for its age and contribution to the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace.
