Appraisal
These modest terraces - 1-36 Findlater Street; 1-20 Black Street and 1-34 Kinahan Street - make a strong contribution to the character of the area. They form part of a group of 182 houses that were built by the Dublin Artisan Dwelling Company (DADCo) and were officially opened in 1886 by the Lord Lieutanant. Although some historic fabric has been replaced, the group retains traditional features including timber sliding sash windows, timber panelled doors and inset bootscrapes.
