Appraisal
This lobby entry thatched house retains much of its original materials and form which has been incorporated into a shop. The thatching forms a pleasing contrast to the hipped slate roof while the corrugated iron walls serve as a reminder of the incorporation of more modern materials into vernacular style architecture.
