Appraisal
An attractive house retaining most of its original form and much of its original fabric, although the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings to the upper floors have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition. Features such as the paired window openings, together with the fine rendered shopfront, augment the architectural design quality of the composition, and enhance the position of the house in the streetscape of Main Street.
