Appraisal
A pleasantly proportioned house of modest to middle size built as one of a group of three identical or related units (including 15601053) retaining the original form and massing together with most of the historic fabric, thereby making an important contribution to the character of Main Street. Notwithstanding a number of modifications, a traditional shopfront of artistic design interest displaying high quality craftsmanship further enhances the visual aesthetic of the site at street level.
