Appraisal
This well proportioned house is enhanced by attention to detailing in its design. The finely carved limestone door surround and contrasting mosaic tiles exhibit skilled craftsmanship while adding visual appeal to the façade. The oversailing roof with timber eaves brackets and Wyatt windows are also noteworthy features. The terminating breakfronts are balanced by the canted bay windows to the east and west elevations adding architectural significance to these façades.
