Appraisal
An elegantly-proportioned, finely-detailed house retaining its original form and massing, contributing to the visual appeal of the street scene. Of particular interest are the various features of artistic design merit, including an early timber shopfront together with the rendered dressings to the upper floors. However, the replacement of the original fittings to the openings has eroded some of the historic character of the site.
