Appraisal
This house retains a strong sense of its original character. The building displays the restrained simplicity of the period, with the render detailing and timber sliding sash windows adding interest. The building is one of a group of such houses in this area and contributes to a sense of unity and character that is both culturally and aesthetically valuable so close to the Limerick city.
