Appraisal
This attractive early-nineteenth-century townhouse is part of a terrace of similar houses creating a unified attractive streetscape. The retention of the form and proportion is important and enlivened by the attractive columned doorcase with finely spoked fanlight. This house, and the terrace of Wellington Place, makes an important contribution to the architectural heritage of Dundalk.
