Appraisal

Marina View comprises a picturesque terrace of sixteen houses which were built in the later part of the nineteenth century. To deal with the site gradient, the terrace is staggered in groups of four. The shared entrance canopies, timber matchboard doors and timber sliding sash windows are among the original features which add much to the group's character and charm. Apparently leased by the Cork Harbour Dock & Warehouse Company Limited, it was used to accommodate its employees.
