Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Westport. Although recently much modified at street level, the elementary form and massing survive intact overhead together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and allegedly to the interior, thus upholding much of the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street.
