Abstract: |
A fine mid-nineteenth-century stuccoed semi-detached house in the Riverside Conservation Area, acquired by Friends in the 1970s, which is of medium heritage significance overall. Evidential value: The building was built as a house and has been in use as a meeting house only since 1971. As such, its evidential value is low. Historical value: The building is of high historical value as a mid-nineteenth-century house in a historic location within the Richmond Riverside Conservation Area, close to the sites of Richmond Palace and a medieval friary. As a meeting house however, its historical value is low. Aesthetic value: As a fine mid-nineteenth-century stuccoed house which makes a positive contribution to the conservation area, the aesthetic value of the building is high. Communal value: Wider use of the building is hampered by access issues. While the building makes a positive contribution to the local scene, its use as a meeting house is of low communal value. |
