Appraisal
A well-proportioned building forming part of a planned boarding house complex (with 22902121, 28, 30 - 33/WD-21-21, 28, 30 - 33) having associations with the Mount Mellerary Monastery estate. Well maintained, the building presents an early aspect with important salient features and materials intact. The building, together with the remainder in the group, forms an important landmark in the locality, conforming to the topography of the sloping site through the use of a stepped, varied roofline.
