Appraisal
This elegantly proportioned house retains much of its original form and character together with important features and materials such as a decorative moulded render door surround and cast-iron rainwater goods. It is one of a long terrace of houses located on the east side of Emmet Square, formerly known as Shannon Square after the Earls of Shannon, which was laid out between 1785 and 1810 to accommodate the wealthy merchants of the town.
