Statement of Interest

A typical early 19th century building given added significance by the small pediment and apex stack, characteristic of this part of the country. Many buildings have unfortunately lost the stacks from the pediments. Where surviving, these add variety and interest to the streetscape. There are no later dormers to this building, enhancing the prominence of the pediment and stack.
