Why it mattered
house — CARROWCARDIN matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This unusual concrete house looks older than it is although the original dwelling, which now forms the return, dates from the early-nineteenth century. Modest decorative woodwork to barges, margined sashes and consoles are of some interest. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
