Appraisal
Composite late nineteenth-century square, formed by terraces of artisan dwellings. Built by Cork Improved Dwellings Co. Ltd. Originally brick with blue brick bands, now mostly altered and modernised, with only no. 41 retaining original brick finish. Square retains original planform and rubble limestone wall around site. Scale and massing of houses still intact. Retaining importance as examples of late nineteenth-century artisan dwellings which are typical of this part of Cork and define the character of the area.
