Appraisal
A pleasant modest-scale house contributing positively to the historic character of the streetscape on account of the retention of most of the original composition attributes together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric. Of special importance is the finely-detailed shopfront exhibiting good quality traditional craftsmanship enhancing the artistic design distinction of the site. The house remains of additional importance for the connections with the DeLoughrey Foundry (1816-1965) together with Peter DeLoughrey (n. d.).
