Appraisal
This house has been extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original form to ground floor, although the first floor presents an early aspect. The house is of social interest as one of the earliest remaining houses on Main Street, and represents the small-scale dwellings inhabited by the majority of the population of Celbridge in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century. The house retains some original features and materials, including multi-pane timber sash fenestration to the first floor, while the replacement timber shopfront to ground floor does not contribute positively to the overall design. The house is of importance for continuing the established streetline of Main Street, and for contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace.
