Appraisal
Built as a pair, this substantial house is designed in the Victorian Tudor Revival style complete with gabled end bay and canted bay. The elegant fenestration rhythm of varying window types is enhanced by the retention of the sash windows. The house retains original door furniture such as the ornate knocker and limestone threshold.
