Appraisal
This house is a good example of early nineteenth-century town buildings that were subsequently enhanced by decorative detailing. The building and its decoration is an important component of the Moylough streetscape, having graceful proportions and unusually ornate window and door surrounds, eaves course and quoins give the façade artistic merit.
