Appraisal
A middle-size house of balanced appearance built as one a group of three identical units (with 12000075, 77/KK-4766-09-75, 77) forming an appealing assemblage in the streetscape. Despite a number of renovation projects over the course of the twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the historic fabric the original form and massing survive intact to the upper floors while elegant rendered dressings enliven the architectural design value of the composition.
