Appraisal
This house is a significant contributor to the architectural heritage in this part of the city, and the imposing scale of the building contrasts with the smaller scale buildings in the streetscape. The building retains interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, slate roof and ashlar limestone dressings. The carved limestone door surround is a particularly notable feature of the building and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
