Appraisal
This house is an attractive and substantial composition that retains its original form. The house is distinguished by the construction in red brick, with yellow and vitrified blue brick dressings producing a polychromatic effect. However, the visual appeal of the building is not enhanced by the replacement fittings to the openings. The house is of additional significance for its contribution to the historic character of the streetscape of Barrack Street.
