| Municipal Inventory | Adopted | 25 Feb 1998 | 2. Considerable significance | |
Prospect House is architecturally significant, and a reminder of earlier times when West Northam was a thriving centre, focusing on the main railway station and workshops, the Grand Hotel and the supporting commercial businesses. Prospect House is aesthetically pleasing and contributes to the streetscape of the centre of West Northam.
A row of single storey buildings flank the central double storey building that is Prospect House. It has a simple parapet frontage and the symmetrical composition has features which include the quoin edgings and the balcony with classical balustrade over the rusticated entry architrave.
