Appraisal
This house was built as a pair with the adjoining house to the west, and they make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. The fine stone doorcase is enhanced by the retention of the fanlight, while the window openings are articulated by the stone surrounds. The timber shopfront is an interesting feature of the house, and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
