Appraisal
Ormond Quay Lower was the first of the quays to be built on the north bank of the River Liffey in the late seventeenth century and is largely attributed to the Duke of Ormond. This Georgian house was built as one of a pair and despite having mostly replacement fabric to the exterior, the building retains its original façade composition, and contributes to the intact appearance of this quay.
