Appraisal
Although Victorian in appearance it may have been reduced by a storey and conceal an early eighteenth-century structure. It is representative of the character and variety of the area, one of Dublin's earliest commercial districts. Architecturally, the building benefits from characteristic later nineteenth-century detailing, including a feature window to the first floor, and vestigial elements of the original shopfront.
