Appraisal
This house was the family home of the noted patriot, writer and poet, Charles J. Kickham, several of his works were written at this location. Its shopfront provides architectural and artistic interest to the streetscape, the building also being enhanced by the decorative render finish and the retention of timber sash windows.
