Appraisal
This substantial house comprises part of a notable and largely intact early nineteenth-century and prominently-sited terrace. The elegant proportions and tall openings are typical of town houses of this period. The round-headed doorcase is also characteristic of provincial houses of this period and style and, along with the cast-iron railing surround, provides a focal point for the façade. The cast-iron balconies add interest to the façade and differentiate it from the surrounding buildings.
