Appraisal
A picturesque house distinguished in Maudlin Street by the porch incorporating fine timber joinery, thereby enhancing the architectural design value of an otherwise modestly-detailed composition. Well maintained to present an early aspect the house makes a significant contribution to the visual appeal of an urban vernacular streetscape composed primarily of small-scale ranges.
