Amendment C 29 Comment Significance A well preserved block of apartments with a somewhat foreboding street elevation that contrasts markedly with the pleasant landscaped entrance courtyard on the east side. This contrast is enhanced by the building's change in scale from three storeys to two storeys as the viewer moves from the street to the courtyard via a discrete side gateway. The original surviving garage doors and the play of balcony and chimney projections on the street elevation are notable features.
