Appraisal
An appealing small-scale house, built as one of a pair (with 22821153/WD-31-21-153), which retains most of its original form, and which contributes to the streetscape quality of Main Street (Parnell Street). However, the inappropriate replacement fittings throughout, including a shopfront of little design quality, do not enhance the visual appeal of the composition.
