Appraisal
Forming part of a distinguished terrace of three and retaining fine original features including margin sash windows, brick detailing and notable well-designed oeil-de-boeuf dormer windows, this terrace is a significant contributor the streetscape. The construction of such an ornate and formal composition is indicative of the historical importance and prosperity of Castletownbere at the time of its construction.
