Appraisal
This well-proportioned house retains much of its original character and is of architectural significance. Features including two-over-two timber sash windows, a stuccoed door surround, plain shopfront and chamfered corner are representative of nineteenth-century design. This house contributes to both the streetscape and architectural heritage of Drumshanbo.
