Appraisal
A well-appointed middle-size house contributing positively to the visual appeal of Parliament Street on account of the retention of many of the early attributes together with later dressings identifying a Classical theme enhancing the architectural design value of the composition. A pleasant shopfront of simple artistic aspirations displaying good quality craftsmanship further enhances the aesthetic value of the site in the street scene.
