Appraisal
Skilled craftsmanship has not been spared when embellishing the brickwork of this house. String courses, keystones, panels, window and door surrounds and corbelled eaves have all been adorned with Art Nouveau style making this house and its neighbour artistically and architecturally of significance to the historic streetscape of Dundalk.
