Appraisal
An elegant Georgian townhouse retaining many of its historic features. The facade features are symmetrical composed, but with a striking unequal spacing of the bays, which adds a curious sense of informality to a well proportioned building. It contributes to the architectural variety of the streetscape, while the historic boundary railings to the boundary reinforce the urban character of this part of the town.
