Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; and the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in the streetscape.
