Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive modest-scale composition that retains its original form and character. The house is distinguished by the fine rendered detailing to the openings, together with the brick detailing to the eaves. The house, which has been well maintained, retains many important salient features and materials. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501023/WD-5632-21-23), forms an attractive feature of subtle polychromatic appearance in the streetscape of Thomas Street.
