Appraisal
The Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company built some 3,600 dwellings since its foundation in 1876. The D.A.D.Co. initially built multi-storey blocks of flats, and from 1880, built rows of single- and two-storey cottages arranged in streets, cul-de-sacs and squares, developing many areas including the area west of Stoneybatter, a seven and a half acre site formerly belonging to the Mount Temple Estate. The company architect, Charles Ashworth, designed five house types and these terraces are excellent examples of the three roomed single-storey type. Though some historic features have been replaced, the group retains traditional features including timber sliding sash windows, timber doors and inset bootscrapes.
