This house – built as one of a pair with the house to north-east – although remodelled to ground floor to accommodate a commercial use, retains most of its original character. The house is of some social and historic significance, representing a component of the continued development of the historic core of Kilcullen in the early to mid nineteenth century. The house retains some early features, including timber sash fenestration of the early twentieth century, while attention to the ground floor might produce a more attractive scheme. Composed of graceful proportions, the lofty front (north-west) elevation has a prominent impact on the streetscape of Main Street and the house is important for its relationship with the building immediately to north-east (11819011/KD-28-19-11), and for continuing the established streetline and roofline of the streetscape.
