Appraisal
This house, built as one of a terrace of three identical houses, is a well-proportioned substantial composition that retains much of its early form and character. The house is distinguished by the rendered Doric shopfront, which is of some artistic merit and which incorporates and attractive overlight to one door opening. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22504107 – 8/WD-5632-22-116 – 115), is an important component of the townscape, contributing to the historic character of Parade Quay.
