Appraisal
This house, built as part of a group of nine terraced houses of identical appearance, is an attractive, small-scale composition that has been well maintained, retaining its original form together with important early salient features and materials. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22501869/WD-5632-21-888), forms part of an attractive streetscape in Francis Street, adhering to the topography of the sloping site through the use of a sloping roofline.
