Appraisal
The elegant proportions of this building are representative of domestic architectural development in Irish towns in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. The terrace of six, of which this house is an integral part, forms a distinctive unit within the streetscape and helps contribute to its overall character. A wrought-iron boot scraper is an important survival while attractive railings and limestone steps add to the building's overall appearance.
