Appraisal
Forming part of a terrace with its neighbours to the west, this house shares a roofline and fenestration alignment but more closely resembles its neighbours to the east. The use of red brick, with granite and yellow brick detailing, as well as the design and form of this house, are largely similar to those of its neighbouring buildings, bringing a pleasing sense of continuity to the streetscape. The form of this house is characteristic of suburban house design and is indicative of the continued development of suburban residential areas and the spread of Dublin city into the twentieth century.
