Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an important middle-size composition of balanced proportions that retains its original form and early character. The house incorporates an important early-surviving timber shopfront of artistic significance. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501331/WD-5632-21-343), is an attractive feature in the streetscape of John Street, and contributes to the historic fabric of the street.
