Appraisal
This well-composed terraced house maintains the parapet height and fenestration arrangement of its neighbouring buildings, contributing positively to the horizontal aspect of the streetscape. The diminishing windows and symmetrical fenestration to the upper floors create a well-proportioned typically Georgian façade. Although the original windows and doorcase have been lost, no.35 retains an attractive early cobweb fanlight. Thom’s directory of 1850 lists no.35 as no.37, as being occupied by William Coleman, clerk, while the Dublin Street Directory of 1862 lists no.37 as the residence of Jas. Aikman, engraver with the Ordnance Survey office. The terrace was renumbered by the time of Griffith’s Valuation map c.1880.
