Appraisal
A brick terraced building representative of the standard form, detailing and proportion of nineteenth-century Georgian terraces in central Dublin, with combined commercial and residential use. Despite modern interventions, the building contributes significantly to the historic built form of Mary Street, located in one of Dublin's oldest commercial areas.
