Appraisal
One of a terrace of late-nineteenth-century red brick houses, this house is typical of late Victorian architecture. The retention of original features and the variety of string coursing enhances the façade. As an integral part of the terrace, that has survived relatively undisturbed, this building adds to architectural character of the streetscape and the built heritage of Dundalk.
