Why it mattered
office — Grattan Square matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A reconstruction of an earlier house on site, the form and massing of the building integrates well into the terrace, and the building is of primary significance for its contribution to the streetscape, continuing the established streetline and roofline of the north-west range of the square. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
