Appraisal
This house is an attractive small-scale building that retains much of its early form and character. The house is distinguished by an attractive timber shopfront of traditional design and artistic interest, although the appearance of the entire composition is undermined by the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings. The house remains an important component of the streetscape, contributing to the historic character of Lower Yellow Road.
