Appraisal
Archival Appraisal [Replaced 2009]: A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition, one 'demonstrating that by the beginning of the twentieth century it was becoming increasingly desirable to give architectural importance to even the most plebian of buildings' (Rothery 1997, 97), suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone with silver-grey granite dressings '[whose] large size…is generous to the point of extravagance' (ibid., 97); the uniform proportions of the openings on each floor; and the miniature gablets embellishing a high pitched roof.
