Appraisal
This building's elegant proportions are characteristic of architectural development in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries and as part of a group of six it contributes to the distinctive character of the streetscape. A wrought-iron boot scraper is an important surviving feature as are the attractive railings with urn newel posts which add to the building's overall appearance.
