Appraisal
This pair of mirrored houses are a notable example of early nineteenth century urban domestic architecture. Features such as the diminishing windows, regular fenestration rhythm and distance of the windows from the corner of the houses are typical of this era. They retain much of their original form and features such as the timber sash windows, which help conserve their original character.
