Appraisal
A former house that is a typical example of Dublin terraced housing dating from the late Georgian or early Victorian period. It forms part of a short terrace standing between the nineteenth-century Presbyterian church and hall on one side and the twentieth-century Abbey Theatre on the other, the whole group constituting an interesting historical sequence of buildings.
