Appraisal
One of a terrace of late-nineteenth century red brick houses, this building retains its original character with a variety of string coursing enhancing the façade; roll moulding to the doorway highlights the opening and stylistic cast-iron railings add grandeur to the street front. This handsome terrace has survived relatively undisturbed, adding to its value and importance to the architectural heritage of Dundalk.
