Appraisal
This modest building forms one of a terrace of six uniform houses sharing a fenestration alignment and parapet height, and displaying a regularity of design and proportion which contributes positively to the streetscape. It is representative of the architectural design and materials employed in the construction of urban dwellings in the early twentieth century, with the use of red brick adding colour and textural interest to the urban landscape, while the retention of timber sash windows and a well composed shopfront contributes to its character.
