Appraisal
One of the original terrace of buildings present here since before the first edition of the Ordnance Survey of the area, this house retains, with its historic fenestration arrangement and that of its neighbours, the original appearance of this area in front of the gates of Hope (Blayney) Castle. The cast-iron decorative elements added in the later nineteenth century contribute to the genteel character of the building and the streetscape.
