Appraisal
A fine domestic building located in the heart of historic Shandon, in close proximity to the Church of Ireland church known for its Shandon bells. It is an area which has been inhabited for many centuries and this house probably occupies the site of earlier dwellings. Its restrained exterior is enlivened by the continuous sills course, sill guards and timber sliding sash windows. Located in a narrow street, it makes a valuable contribution to the streetscape by virtue of its height and mass.
