Appraisal
This house of modest proportions is a notable example early twentieth-century architecture. The varying window treatments and fenestration rhythm articulate the floors to the façade, whilst the recessed door opening adds decorative interest. The house is illustrative of the expansion of the suburbs of Doon in the early twentieth century.
