Appraisal
The well-proportioned façades are characteristic in many ways of domestic Georgian architecture, with vertically oriented windows, flat facades, and granite steps to each door. The windows do not diminish, however, probably the result of late nineteenth-century refenestration to allow more light to the interiors.
