Appraisal
Although it has lost some of its original fabric, this late Georgian townhouse retains its original proportions and some building features such as elliptical-headed door opening, granite quoins and section of railings. Its parapet height and fenestration arrangement provides variation from the uniformity of the adjoining terrace. Adelaide Road was originally a section of the Circular Road, renamed in 1833 in honour of Queen Adelaide.
