Appraisal
This well-built end-of-terrace house is part of a group of two terraces made up of sixteen late nineteenth-century houses on the north side of the North Circular Road. The mechanisation of brick manufacture began in the nineteenth century and the brick and terracotta detailing used in the terrace is characteristic of its application in domestic architecture. The entrance is particularly well designed with a recessed panelled timber door and over-light framed within a pilastered porch for architectural effect. The terrace's uniform roof-line is punctuated by pedimented gables. The North Circular Road was laid out in the 1780s to create a convenient approaches to the city. It developed slowly over the following century with the far west and east ends developing last.
