Appraisal
A well-appointed middle-size house retaining the original pleasing proportions to the upper floors together with much of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby maintaining the character of the site. Despite some alterations to the openings a finely-detailed pubfront of artistic design distinction survives substantially intact, thereby enlivening the external expression of the house at street level. Occupying an important corner site the house makes a valuable contribution to the streetscape values of Ormonde Road and Upper New Street.
