Appraisal
This house, built as one of a uniform terrace of five units, is an attractive modest-scale composition that retains its original form and most of its original character. The house is distinguished by the fine rendered detailing to the openings and retains original salient features and materials, including important fittings to the interior. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition. The house remains the most intact of the terrace and, together with the remainder of the group (22501017/WD-5632-21-17), forms an attractive component of the streetscape of Thomas Street.
