Appraisal
The southern section of Seville Place was developed after the arrival of the railway in the 1830-40s. This terrace, built in the second half of the nineteenth century, was part of a wave of development in the area in that period, perhaps spurred on by the construction of the nearby church of Saint Laurence O’Toole, and the ecclesiastical and educational buildings which followed it. The survival of the original fenestration and joinery contributes to the architectural significance of the house.
