Appraisal
A house of modest size exhibiting a simple, almost urban vernacular aesthetic displaying early origins on account of attributes including the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing, the informal arrangement of small-scale openings in the composition, the steep pitch of the roof incorporating small slates, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with substantial quantities of the historic fabric surviving in place, thereby upholding the positive impression made on the character or streetscape quality of Mary Street.
