Abstract: |
The meeting house has medium heritage significance as a Victorian semi-detached house of the 1880s or 1890s which was converted in 1989-91 for use as a meeting house. Evidential value: The meeting house has low evidential value as a Victorian house built on a site with no known archaeological significance. Historical value: Little is known about the early history of the house, its architect and occupiers. As a typical Victorian suburban house which was converted to meeting house use it has medium historical value. Aesthetic value: The meeting house has a highly decorative street elevation with brick patterns and bargeboards. The interior retains some historic features but the medium aesthetic value resides chiefly in the main elevation. Communal value: The building's main use is as a Quaker meeting house with the upstairs flat rented out. It is part of a highly visible series of semi-detached houses which represent a local landmark in the conservation area for local residents. Its use and prominence in a local streetscape lend it medium communal value. |
