Appraisal
This attractive house is one of two on the street to display a projecting porch with fine cast-iron crested railings to their parapets. The recess created by the inclusion of such a porch adds to the variety of the streetscape. The two make a handsome pair separated by another property on the street line. Round-headed window openings to the porches also contribute to variety within the streetscape, while overall proportions conform well to architectural typology in the area. Particularly fine cast-iron railings and gate are also noteworthy.
