Appraisal
This house is a fine and substantial building that has a prominent impact on the streetscape, forming the corner of Barrack Street and Trace Road. Although renovated in the late twentieth century, the house retains most of its original form and materials, including a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods – the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the building. The house is of some social and historic interest, representing a component of the continued development of the historic core of Ballymore Eustace in the mid nineteenth century.
