Appraisal
Set back from the road on a landscaped elevated site, this handsome building retains many original details such as decorative terracotta detailing to gablets, finials, and marble colonnettes to the door opening. Together with the red brick walls, these features create textural variation in the building's appearance. Despite alterations and refenestration, the historic character of the building remains.
