Why it mattered
house — Toher Road matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A well composed pair of houses, built as part of a terrace, the modest form of which is distinguished by the unified design of the shopfronts. The robust render detailing enlivens the façade as illustrated by the Doric style pilasters of the shopfront and render hoodmouldings to the windows. The survival of the jostle stone at the carriage entranceway is of some significance. The houses present a coherent decorative scheme and as such make a positive contribution to the streetscape. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
