Appraisal
A good example of an urban vernacular house that makes a strong contribution to the town's historic character. Solidly built and plainly detailed without plinth course or any embellishment, is it an example of a type that was characteristic of Irish towns in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The house retains its distinctive vernacular appearance with the irregular arrangement of the façade and traditional windows.
