Description

Rendered walls to upper floors, having roughcast rendered walls with render fascia to ground floor. Tripartite timber sash windows to upper floors.
Appraisal
This building derives particular significance from it's survival as one of the few nineteenth-century houses on Cork's now much altered city quays. The scale and form of this former house make a notable and positive addition to the quayside, and it is part of an interesting group with the three-storey former houses to the east and west along the quay. Though now greatly altered to the ground floor, the upper levels of the building are enhanced by the retention of the timber sash windows and slate roof.
