Appraisal
This building, part of a group of seven identical buildings purpose-built to accommodate two apartments, has been very well maintained to present an early aspect. The building retains original fittings to the window openings, which have been lost elsewhere in the terrace, and which enhance the character of the composition. The building, together with the remainder of the terrace (22501374/WD-5632-21-386), is an important component of the streetscape of Alexander Street, following the topography of the sloping site through the stepping of the terrace.
