Appraisal
Thom's Directory indicates that this terrace was developed c.1890 and it bears many of the hallmarks of the Dublin Artisan Dwelling Company. The D.A.D.Co. built some 3,600 dwellings from its foundation in 1876, including multi-storey blocks of flats, and rows of single- and two-storey cottages arranged in streets, cul-de-sacs and squares. The D.A.D.Co. houses are characterised by their machine-made red brick facades, elliptical window and door openings and small garden enclosed by cast-iron railings to their front elevations. No.93 and no.94 break forward from the rest of the terrace and do not have an enclosed garden to their front elevation. The integral carriage arch to no.92 gives access to the rear of the terrace.
