Appraisal
This late Georgian house may have been built at the same time as its neighbour to the north. It is notable for its relatively intact historic fenestration. The contrasting round and square-headed window openings provide interest to the facade. The building forms an integral part of the historic character of South Leinster Street and contrasts with the recent office block opposite.
