Appraisal
A pleasing terraced building of mid nineteenth-century appearance, which retains much of its early form, character and fabric despite alterations to the ground floor. The addition of elaborate stucco work in the late nineteenth-century created a fashionable façade that continues to add incident to the streetscape. This is a good example of changing fashions and the adaptation of architectural styles. The scale and form of this building make a positive contribution to the streetscape on the west side of Main Street.
