Appraisal
This terraced house retains its early form and character. Together with numbers 3, 10, 11, 12, 13 it adds to the historic character of Pim Street. Construction of the Grand Canal was completed in 1797 providing a waterway connection between Dublin and the River Shannon. This appears to have encouraged street development in the area, with Pim Street being laid out shortly after, appearing in Wilson's Street Directory listing by 1815.
