Description:
A two-storeyed, single fronted house with a cast iron balcony, in the style of a terrace house.
History:
The house was built for James Peel Browne, livery stable keeper, cab proprietor and coachbuilder. Adjacent stables housed his horses and cabs. Browne's son, also James Peel Browne, lived with his father, and later so too did his wife, Catherine, and young daughter. Confusingly both father and son died in 1905 and the property fell to Catherine.
