Appraisal
This well-proportioned house with its simple design and symmetry makes for an attractive façade and the original proportion of the structure has been maintained. Particular interest lies in the fine fanlight with its teardrop design, enhancing the modest dwelling which adds to the variety of Drogheda's architectural heritage.
