Timber battened doors and timber sash and fixed windows.
Appraisal
These well-proportioned houses are a feature of the urban fabric of Dromod. They have retained their original form and significant features including timber sash windows, corrugated-iron roofs and roughcast rendered walls. Such elements further enhance their importance as representatives of the vernacular tradition, a tradition which is becoming increasingly rare in modern Ireland.
