Appraisal
This handsome building forms part of a terrace of three buildings. Its M-profile roof and large scale windows are typical of late eighteenth century Georgian Cork, and are seen utilised on a grander scale in other parts of the city, such as Dyke Parade. This terrace predates the development of the area as a fashionable suburb. Set in a small cul-de-sac, it is an interesting addition to the architectural heritage of the area.
