Appraisal
One of a terrace of late-nineteenth-century red brick houses this building retains its original character with its high quality polychromatic brickwork, decorative dormer trims and original windows and door. This handsome terrace has survived relatively undisturbed, enhancing the streetscape and being part of the architectural heritage of Dundalk.
