Appraisal
Though modest, this house is a good example of a traditional town house, with its integral carriage archway leading to a yard at the rear. The retention of timber sash windows enhances it and contributes to a pleasing façade. The lined-and-ruled render and the other render details were inspired by classical architecture to evoke the grandeur and social standing of cut-stone buildings.
