Why it mattered

house — Eustace Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This building's good quality late-Georgian replacement facade belies its early eighteenth-century origins, which are clearly revealed by the rear elevation's rare surviving original windows and glazing. The graduated fenestration pattern also underscores its early origins. Salient interior joinery, including original hall and stair wainscoting, has also survived the building's varied uses, including a plate warehouse and solicitors' offices in the nineteenth century. The doorcase with subtle embellishments adds decorative interest to the unadorned facade. It acts as an historic vista terminus to the modern… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
