Appraisal
This house retains much of its early form and character, enhanced by the well-proportioned openings and handsome Regency style doorcase, popular in the early nineteenth century. It shares characteristics with the adjoining houses, resulting in a coherent streetscape. This terrace of three houses is one of the earliest on Harrington Street, where residential development did not start in earnest until the mid-nineteenth century.
