Appraisal
This pleasant house stands in a terrace of Victorian brick townhouses with polychromatic detailing, contributing to the architectural variety with Dublin's northside Georgian core. The fine brick details, and the retention of the front garden with cast-iron railings further enhance the appearance of the terrace and helps maintain the historic character of the streetscape.
