Appraisal
This house located on O'Moore Street is a notable structure. Its general form is typical of early nineteenth-century architecture being three bays wide and a single-storey over basement. The actual design is more unusual with highly decorative pointed-arched door opening with flanking Wyatt windows. The house retains it original character and the variation in its form from other pieces of domestic architecture seen along O'Moore street is all the same striking.
