Appraisal
This terraced house retains its early form and proportions. The vertical window openings and simple elevation are typical of Georgian architecture and contribute to the urban character of Thomas Street. Like many of the neighbouring houses, the ground floor subsequently had a commercial use. Early fabric remains in the timber sash windows. Thomas Street was laid out by the early eighteenth century and was an important thoroughfare linking the city with the west.
