Appraisal
This pleasantly proportioned Victorian red brick townhouse contributes to the architectural variety of the city's northside Georgian area. Fine masonry details such as the window surrounds, a well executed eaves course and pleasantly appointed chimneystacks greatly enhance the building. The retention of historic fabric, such as timber sash windows, and the garden and railings to the street contribute to the visual quality of the streetscape.
