Appraisal
This attractive handsomely-proportioned house is typical of architectural developments in the early-twentieth century and the combination of gable fronts and half-dormers, juxtaposed with a squared-profile entrance porch is very characteristic of the type. Fine detailing, including timber bargeboards, stained glass overlights, encaustic tiles and wrought-iron gates is also characteristic and contributes significantly to the building's architectural interest and overall appearance.
