Appraisal
A four-storey building within a terrace of similar buildings on Parnell Street, its design and treatment is similar to most of the Georgian houses in the area. This building has been much altered through the removal of the early sash windows and the addition of an unsympathetic shopfront. It nevertheless contributes to the historic character of Parnell Street.
