Appraisal
This fine house is one of the tallest in Laurence Street and dominates the roofscape. Built with the classical restrained proportions used during the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century, it makes a valuable contribution to the streetscape. Its elegant façade enlivened by a fine Gibbsian doorcase.
