Appraisal
Located within a terrace of thirteen early nineteenth-century houses, this pleasant house of modest Georgian proportions forms an integral component of the north side of Summerhill Parade. This example retains much of its original doorcase and fanlight, and its setting is enhanced by the retention of granite steps and the plinth and railings to the basement area. The building forms a component part of a relatively intact terrace constitutes the northeast limits of Georgian Dublin.
