Appraisal
Dublin Civic Trust's 'Survey of Gable-Fronted Houses and Other Early Buildings of Dublin' (2012) states ‘Heavily modified with the first floor windows shortened and the attic storey likely built up at a later date, the building retains little of its original appearance. However, the roof and central chimneystack point to a potentially early date, as do the relatively low windows above the shopfront as they would have appeared in their original state.'
