Interior – C18 style dogleg stair of four flights with decorated tread ends, grip handrail, carved turned balusters and moulded dado. Fire screens inserted on landings. 6-panelled doors. Strapwork ceiling in rear ground-floor room. Kelly's directory 1883 owned by James Westoll, a shipbroker and managing owner of a steam ship. He was at the house until the late 19th century. Later occupiers include the Adamson family (1901), and the Moore family (1912), Walter Raine (1922). In the late 1920s George Short bought the house and later sold it to St Anthony's High School for Girls in 1939. The school moved from Green Street to the site in the same year. Recording in 2015 revealed that the house has undergone a great deal of change internally. Only the Headmistress' room the only room retaining its original structure. The entrance has also been moved from its original position probably c.1939. Original décor remains throughout the building including fireplaces, cornices, sash windows and architraves.
