Appraisal
This unusual house with its paired dormer gablets and fine slate roof is a attractive feature of the Butlerstown streetscape. Vernacular influences are evident in its plan and fenestration pattern. The retention of key historic features including sash windows and whitewashed enclosing walls further enhance the building's character.
