Appraisal
This modest house retains features derived from Victorian architecture, such as the gablets to the first floor. The sandstone walls are complimented and enlivened by the brick eaves course, which also adds a chromatic and textural interest. The cast-iron railings and sandstone piers enhance the composition of the site.
