This house is an attractive, small-scale range that retains most of its original form and some of its early character. The house is of social and historical significance, representing the expansion of the historic core of Newbridge in the mid nineteenth century. Composed on a symmetrical plan of graceful balanced proportions, the house is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Eyre Street, continuing the established streetline of the street while contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace. The house retains important early timber fittings to the door opening, while the re-instatement of traditional-style timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance.
