Appraisal
This house, which forms part of a terrace of six uniform houses, has been well-maintained despite the loss of original timber sash windows throughout. Most other salient features intact including front door, terracotta detailing and cast-iron rainwater goods. Together with the remainder of this terrace this house forms an important variation in the late Victorian, and Edwardian typologies that exist on Ennis Road and the inner suburbs of the City.
