Appraisal
The finely balanced façade of this house is enhanced by the retention of historic features such as the timber sash windows and porch. Though now in ruins, the related mill adds much to the site's context. The scale and form of the house is a reminder of the prosperity and status of mill owners in the nineteenth century.
