Appraisal
Being the only three-bay Georgian building on this street, the structure dominates the relatively uniform terrace. Although this building has lost its windows and its original stair plan to the ground floor, the owners are in the process of researching its restoration. The building could potentially contribute more substantially to the architectural character of this historic streetscape.
