Appraisal
This cottage, built as one of a terrace of four, is of considerable social and historical significance, representing a small-scale residential development in Newbridge, and one possibly sponsored by the local authority. The cottage retains its original form and picturesque appearance, which is in marked contrast to the anonymous design of the later buildings constructed at the far south end of Francis Street. Renovated in the late twentieth century the replacement fenestration does not detract considerably from the original integrity of the design. Retained are important salient features including a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. The cottage, together with remaining cottages in the terrace (11818007, 93 - 4/KD-27-18-07, 93 - 4), forms an attractive feature on the streetscape of Francis Street and is a subtle landmark when viewed from Eyre Street (to north) and Main Street (to south).
