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 group of six, of which it is an integral part, forms a distinctive unit within the streetscape and contributes to its overall character. Simple but attractive railings with urn newel post and original limestone steps add to the buildings overall appearance.
