Appraisal
A simple early twentieth-century terraced house which, although it has lost most of its external original features, still contributes, together with its neighbours, to make an attractive red brick terrace. As an integral part of the urban fabric of the town, it adds to the special character and architectural landscape of Portlaoise.
