Appraisal
This notable house was built as part of a group which runs along the east side of The Diamond. Its composition of balanced proportions is attractive. The doorcase, displaying fine craftsmanship, is the decorative focus of the building, and the integral carriage arch roots the building in the tradition of small town architecture.
