Square-headed window openings with rendered reveals, painted granite sills and replacement uPVC windows.
Appraisal
This row building is part of an extensive terrace of Georgian houses on Parnell Street, originally named Ballybough Lane and then Great Britain Street. Despite the loss of much historic fabric the building nevertheless contributes significantly to the streetscape. The tall chimneystacks enhance the roof-line. According to Casey (2005), the building retains internal joinery and other features.
