Appraisal
The scale and form of this house make a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. Set on a height overlooking the street, this late nineteenth-century building contrasts with the surrounding mid twentieth-century houses in the area, which are set in terraces with the gable walls facing Gurranabraher Road. The building retains interesting features and material, such as the timber sliding sash windows, segmental-arched openings, cast-iron railings and slate roof.
