Appraisal
This house is an attractive, modest-scale building of much character that is distinguished by the fine rendered detailing to the openings. Although disused, the house retains many important salient features and materials, which enhance the visual appeal of the site. The house is a distinctive and important component of the streetscape and contributes to the historic quality of Barker Street.
