Appraisal
This building forms part of a notable terrace with the adjoining buildings to the east. Built in the early nineteenth century, this house was later altered to accommodate use as a warehouse. Though now in poor condition and with interesting features removed, the materials utilised in the construction of the building, such as the red sandstone, grey limestone and red brick, add colour and textural interest to the streetscape.
