Appraisal
An attractive middle-size house built as one of a pair (with 12000095/KK-4766-09-95) incorporating Classically-derived proportions, thereby contributing to the formal quality of Parliament Street. The retention of much of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior further enhances the contribution the house makes to the historic quality of the streetscape.
