Appraisal
This house is an attractive composition of balanced proportions that retains its robust decorative render details. The terrace was built between 1871-73 by the entrepreneur and Home Rule politician William Henry O'Sullivan. The simple symmetrical shopfront is in keeping with the scale and massing of the house, which forms a pleasing feature in the streetscape.
