Appraisal
Though modest in form and scale, this house displays a regularity of design and proportion which makes a positive impression on the streetscape. It is one of a terrace of six uniform houses sharing a fenestration alignment, contributing to the horizontal aspect of the street. 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 well composed shopfront provides contextual interest.
