Appraisal
This attractive house occupies a visually important corner site and is therefore particularly instrumental in maintaining the architectural character of the streetscape. Handsome proportions and a large amount of original or early fabric add to this building's architectural interest and overall appearance. The round-headed door opening with flight of fine limestone steps is characteristic of architectural development of the time. The wrought-iron window guards add artistic interest.
