Appraisal
Though some fabric and features have been replaced, this imposing house retains much of its historic character. The elegant doorcase is a particularly attractive feature, and is representative of the high quality design and craftsmanship which was used in the execution of decorative features in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
