Description
Terraced two-bay single-storey house with dormer attic, built c. 1889, as a group with the adjoining buildings to the east. Pitched slate roof having red brick chimneystack and flat-roofed dormer window. Red brick walls with limestone plinth and having vitrified brick string course over ground floor openings. Segmental-arched openings with replacement window and door.
Appraisal
The scale and form of this terrace make a positive contribution to the streetscape and the terrace forms a fine piece in the urban landscape. The grey limestone, red brick and purple slate add colour and textural interest to the group, while the vitrified brick is a particularly notable feature as it is unusual in Cork city. The terrace is enhanced by the retention of features and materials, such as the gabled dormer windows and timber matchboard doors.
