Appraisal
This late-nineteenth-century house forms part of an impressive terrace on Castle Road. The house is built in the typical style of this period, with the canted bays, dormer windows and highly decorative detailing being of particular note. The fine brickwork includes ornate floral motifs to the door surround and its original fenestration remains intact, enhancing the structure, which plays a significant role in Dundalk's built heritage.
