Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace, this imposing building is situated on a prominent street frontage in Dundalk, at a point in the street where the scale of building changes from two storeys to three. There are many interesting surviving features such as the cobbled carriage arch, iron gate and window proportions which add to the character of the building.
