Statement of Significance

This is one of a number of houses in this street which are of heritage value in a heritage precinct.
The glass is particularly good. Similar vintage to the house next door at no 3. Both were part of the post
WW1 boom. Together they contribute to a fine streetscape in a heritage precinct.
