Appraisal
This house, built as one of a group of three, is of considerable social and historical importance as one of the earliest houses in Maynooth. The house has been renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original fabric. The house has an attractive impact on the streetscape, framing Court House (originally Market House) Square to the north-east while continuing the established streetline and roofline of the terrace.
