Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the south, this pair is part of a group of fine late nineteenth century houses, along with the Terrace and Western Villas to the west, which forms an interesting ensemble. The canted bay window, timber sliding sash windows and timber bargeboards are features which add to its character. Its prominent location overlooking the Owenboy River and enjoying a fine view of Crosshaven to the south, makes it a notable addition in the landscape.
