Appraisal
This charming house, with its canted end and closely grouped fenestration, makes an attractive addition to the streetscape of Collon. The ogee-headed window to the first floor dormer is a particularly unusual and noteworthy feature. The tiled threshold to the entrance door adds a subtle artistic quality.
