Appraisal
This house is an attractive, middle-size range that retains its original balanced form together with important salient features and materials. Of particular importance is the rendered shopfront to ground floor, which is of artistic design quality and which has been well maintained. The house is an important component of the streetscape, forming a corner linking Morgan Street and Philip Street, and is identified by its massing, rising above the neighbouring houses.
