Appraisal
The form of this house is enhanced by the rich ornamentation applied to the façade. The elaborate render includes ornate consoles and brackets with floral motifs beneath the eaves and decorative pilasters to the ground floor. The building presents a unified, elaborate front, which makes a strong and positive contribution to the streetscape.
