Appraisal
A late nineteenth or early twentieth-century terraced house, now part of the Villager public house, in the 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, contributing to the eclectic character that is central to the architectural character and streetscape of the area. Detailing suggests that it is likely to predate the adjoining two buildings somewhat, although they are similarly styled.
