Appraisal
This house maintains the parapet height and fenestration arrangement of its neighbours to the north, contributing positively to the horizontal aspect and continuity of the streetscape. Its well-composed façade is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows and an elegant doorcase, which contribute to the architectural significance of the façade and are indicative of the care and skill brought into the construction of even the more modest nineteenth-century buildings.
