Appraisal
This house was built as a terrace of four houses which was altered in the nineteenth century by the amalgamation of two houses into a single dwelling, forming a terrace of three. The classical form and proportions remain apparent and this terrace makes a fine addition to the architectural heritage of Drogheda.
