Appraisal
This pair retains its original form and historic features such as the canopy porches and sash windows. Projecting bay windows are characteristic features of late Victorian architecture, of which this pair is a fine example. The carved limestone entrance to the west adds to the setting of the pair and bring character to the streetscape.
