Appraisal
This house is situated on a residential street close to the busy town centre of Dundalk. It occupies a terrace of similarly styled houses which differ in their details. The retention of many original materials, such as the slate roof with decorative ridge cresting, as well as the attractive use of polychromatic brick, enlivens the façade. The cast-iron railings along with the decorative keystones are also worthy of note.
