Appraisal
This house retains retain many notable features such as brickwork, sash windows and timber front door. The black and yellow brick detailing enliven the street elevation and is typical of its time. This portion of Clanbrassil Street was largely demolished and rebuilt in the late twentieth century and this house stands as a reminder of the former character of the street.
