Appraisal
The size and scale of this house and its diminishing windows are features typical of town houses of the era in Ireland. The regular form is enlivened by the window treatments, which are well executed and influenced by a variety of styles. It retains notable features such as the timber sliding sash windows and the cast-iron boundary railings, which add further artistic interest to the building.
