Appraisal
This fine late nineteenth century building forms part of a terrace, located prominently in Dundalk. The window pattern and door opening are in keeping with the neighbouring properties and create a harmonious feel to the streetscape. The fine timber door case, although repaired, contributes to the character of the property.
