Appraisal
This house is characteristic of the local vernacular, the higher addition also being a feature of the tradition. Its corrugated-iron roof and asymmetrical window placement emphasizes its vernacular character and the retention of its sash windows enhances it. This house is an attractive and interesting landmark in the streetscape and a reminder of an architectural tradition that is slowly being replaced by a more modern residential type.
