Appraisal
This modest house, situated on Frederick Street, retains many original elements, which create a structure of character and charm. The most noteworthy features seen on the elevation are the timber sash windows with the stained glass margin lights. These windows enliven the entire façade, giving an almost artistic flair to the simple structure. The central doorcase, with its simple sidelights and fanlight, add to this with the sidelights echoing the design of the sash windows. Though unassuming, the building makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of the small town of Clara.
