Appraisal
Situated along the southern side of Saint Mary's Road, a wide straight street, this house is a fine example of late-Victorian domestic architecture. The house, though modest in scale, exhibits many late Victorian features such as the canted bay, the dormer windows, elaborate cast-iron work and the decorative red brick detailing that is particularly noteworthy, adding an attractive uniformity to the terrace.
