Appraisal
An inventive late nineteenth-century house with some interesting brick detailing and a noteworthy doorcase of artistic merit. It survives with its character intact and forms and attractive pair with the building to the north. The contrast between the gray roughcast render and the decorative brick detailing creates and interesting visual effect. This house remains an attractive feature in an elevated location and makes a significant contribution to the streetscape.
