Appraisal
This house was constructed as part of a terrace of nine that share similar detailing, including artistic flourishes in the form of moulded brick eaves cornices. The intact front garden, with decorative iron railings, enhances the site. The former Emor demesne, between Heytesbury and Clanbrassil Streets, was sold in 1860 and was developed from 1868 by Thomas Kelly, proprietor of the City Saw Mills in Thomas Street.
