Appraisal
These houses form part of a row of similarly scaled semi-detached and terraced houses, which were built in the early years of the twentieth century. They adhere to a building tradition which is typical of well-designed suburban house design and represent the continued development of suburban residential areas in Dublin city. Rusticated granite and yellow brick are used to good effect to provide a visual and textural contrast to the predominant use of red brick in the area, and the timber sash windows which are retained provide architectural interest and add a patina of age.
