Appraisal
This house is the most intact of a terrace of structures of similar form and detailing. It is differentiated by its retention of its timber casement windows and the unusual and decorative door. The materials used in its construction, such as the red brick, as well as features such as the timber canopy and round-headed opening, are characteristic of its time. The modest and regular façade is enhanced by the flanking box-bay windows and the site augmented by the boundary walls and unusual decorative cast-iron railings.
