Appraisal
The scale and proportions of this early twentieth-century terraced house are in keeping with earlier buildings in the historic centre of Chapelizod. It shares distinctive detailing with other buildings in the village of the same period, such as faux-timber gables and granite lintels. It contributes to the eclectic character that is central to the architectural character and streetscape of the area.
