Appraisal
This terrace retains much of its original form. The symmetry and regularity of bays make a positive contribution to the streetscape. Red brick was a relatively uncommon building material outside the major urban areas in Munster in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its use in this terrace indicates that the developer was outward looking and concerned with contemporary fashion. This building retains a particularly fine late nineteenth century shopfront, notable for its tripartite design and well crafted detailing.
