Appraisal
A well-composed, middle-size house incorporating distinctive architectural features typical of the period of construction, including canted bay windows. Very well maintained, the house retains its original form and fabric and, occupying a prominent corner site, contributes to the streetscape quality of both South Mall and Chapel Place.
