Appraisal
This house, originally built as a pair, is a notable feature in the streetscape. Unusual features such as robust copings to the roofline coupled with features such as the diminishing windows set this house apart from its neighbours. The house presents an early aspect and retains salient materials such as the sash windows and stone sills, which further enhance its character. The building forms an important component of the architectural heritage of Hospital.
