Appraisal
The large size of this building coupled with its prominent corner-sited location and regular, subtle design makes it a distinguished feature on the streetscape. It retains notable features such as the slate roof, ornate timber door and timber sash windows. The house makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of Doon.
