Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace of three similarly scaled former houses, this example has been recently refurbished. The street was laid out in 1795 by Thomas Sherrard for the Wide Street Commissioners, with the plots developed by the late 1820s. Abutting a larger terrace to the north, this building conforms to the scale of the terrace on Hardwicke Street providing a setting to Francis Johnston's St. George's Church and adds variety of scale to this otherwise grand streetscape.
