Appraisal
An appealing small scale house incorporating distinctive features, including brick window surrounds and display windows with cast-iron sill guard, which contribute to the architectural value of the composition. Reasonably well maintained, the house retains much of its original form and massing, together with some important salient features and materials, and significantly enhances the streetscape value of Lord Edward Street.
