Appraisal
The size, scale and form of this terrace is similar to contemporary terraces in Cork suburbs such as those found on College Road, Connacht Avenue and St Luke's. The dormer windows, shouldered openings and canted-bays add variety and interest to the roofline and front elevation. The timber sliding sash windows, eaves corbels and timber bargeboards add to its historic character.
