Appraisal
A pleasant, well-composed middle-size house having a prominent impact on the streetscape value of Dobbin Street, on account of the form and massing, the refined Classically-derived detailing, and the present bold colour scheme. However, extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century have eroded much of the historic character and patina of the composition.
