Fiesole — Prospect matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This attractive house was built as one of a pair of identical neighbouring properties. The subtle render detailing to the window and door surrounds and the contrasting textures serve to enliven the form of the building. The twinned and canted-bay windows to the front are interesting features and contribute visual interest to the street. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
