Appraisal
An appealing, well-proportioned house that retains much of the original form and massing, together with many salient features and materials. The house is distinguished by the remodelled tripartite window opening to ground floor, which introduces a sense of formality to the composition. The house makes a strong impression in the streetscape, and remains an important component of the architectural heritage of Ardmore.
