Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive, substantial composition of balanced proportions that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. The house retains important early salient features and materials, including an attractive timber shopfront of artistic interest. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501320/WD-5632-21-332), is an important component of the streetscape of John Street, the tall slender massing identifying the houses in the street.
