Appraisal
An attractive small-scale house retaining most of its original form and massing, and incorporating a pleasant shopfront of artistic design merit. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings and materials to the upper floors have eroded much of the historic quality of the site. Nevertheless, the house remains an important element of the street scene, and contributes to the visual appeal of Main Street (Parnell Street).
