Appraisal
This terrace of modestly scaled early nineteenth-century town houses contrasts with the larger, later houses on the other side of the street. It relies on its simple proportions to create its character and presence, and is devoid of the decorative detailing found in the later buildings in the area. The timber sash windows and simple railings add much to its historic character.
