Appraisal
Though interesting features and materials have been replaced, this pair of houses forms part of an unusual terrace. The houses in the terrace are stacked on two levels, with the houses on the lower level facing south and backing directly on to the hill behind, while the upper level houses are accessed from the north elevation. This terrace is a notable and unusual contributor to the architectural heritage of the city.
