Appraisal
Interesting house of characteristic mid nineteenth-century eclectic appearance, incorporating distinctive features such as the gabled dormer window and cast-iron finial which dominates the structure and adds artistic interest to the roofline. The mansard roof, an unusual feature throughout Ireland, is a characteristic feature of some of the substantial terraces in the town.
