Appraisal
This terraced house retains its early form. The vertical proportions and unadorned elevation are typical of Georgian architecture and contribute to the historic character of Thomas Street. Like many of the neighbouring houses, the ground floor subsequently had a commercial use. Thomas Street was laid out by the early eighteenth century as an important thoroughfare linking the city with the west.
