Appraisal
This nineteenth-century house terminates a well-composed terrace at the east end of Dean Street. Its restrained classical design is typical of the work of the architects of the Wide Street Commission who altered the layout and building stock in the environs of Dean Street during the first half of the nineteenth century. During the middle of the nineteenth century it was in use as a chemist or ‘druggist’. It appears that this terrace was rebuilt in the 1820s and originally comprised a further three houses which were removed during road building.
