Appraisal
This house, despite renovations in the late twentieth century that have led to the loss of most of the original fabric, retains its original balanced form, and is an important component of the streetscape of Thomas Street as a result of its massing, rising above the surrounding houses on the street. The house is distinguished by the retention of an attractive doorcase, which enhances the visual appeal of the composition.
