Appraisal
This house, built as the central house within a terrace of three, forms part of a well proportioned and regularly scaled terrace, located on Emmet Street. All three structures retain their original doorcases, which contribute to the symmetry of the terrace. As with the neighbouring buildings, this ornately styled doorcase is enhanced by its console brackets and fanlight. The cut stone steps to the front of the house add textural variation to the façade.
