Appraisal
Despite the loss of original fenestration, this remains a fine property, of good scale and proportions, typical of its type and retaining a great deal of architectural integrity and form. The retention of its doorcase adds to its significance. Forms part of a group of structures with the Presbyterian church (40901102) nearby.
