Appraisal
This attractive early-nineteenth-century townhouse is located within a terrace of similar structures. The retention of the proportion and form create a pleasing modest house enlivened by the elegant columned doorcase with a fine delicate fanlight. This house is an integral part of Wellington Place playing an important role in the streetscape and making a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of Dundalk.
