Appraisal
An appealing modest-scale house making an important contribution to the streetscape value of Rose Inn Street. Although inappropriate replacement fittings have led to the loss of the distinctive "'Kilkenny Window" bipartite arrangement elsewhere most of the original form and massing survive substantially intact, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the composition. An early twentieth-century shopfront of artistic design merit significantly enhances the visual appeal of the site at street level.
