Appraisal
A well-proportioned house that retains most of its original form to the upper floors. However, renovation works over the course of the late twentieth century have detracted considerably from the external appearance of the house. Nevertheless, the house remains an important component of the streetscape of Main Street, and is of particular significance in the locality for its historic associations with Timothy A. Healy (1855 - 1931), Governor-General.
