Linden Hall — Altamount Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A townhouse erected as one of a pair (including 31212204) representing an important component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition, one rooted firmly in the contemporary Edwardian fashion, confirmed by such attributes as the compact plan form; the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression with the principal "apartments" defined by a handsome bay window; and the high pitched gabled roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
