Appraisal
This is one of a pair of houses whose modest, symmetrical design is a splendid addition to the streetscape of Emmet Street. The finely crafted decorative doorcase is particularly noteworthy with its fluted Doric engaged columns, decorative sidelights and simple, yet striking, fanlight. The symmetrical design of the house is heightened by its doorcase and surrounding railings which complete the site.
