Appraisal
This house retains its early form and character, and fabric including the timber doorcase, tiled path and cast-iron railings. The decorative brick details add colourful relief to the red brick elevations. The building's proportions and brick details are shared with neighbouring houses, bringing coherence to the streetscape. The front garden boundary remains intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the area.
