Appraisal
Although apparently in poor condition, this house this house is a significant survivor of the area's architectural heritage as one of the few structures on Phibsborough Road that has survived from the early nineteenth century. The remaining elements, such as the doorway features and the steps and basement railings enhance this late Georgian building.
