Appraisal
This terraced house was built as part of a group with its neighbours to the east, and takes its name from St Leonard's Garden, graveyard and the ruined abbey to the south. Though simple in its design the retention of important elements of its original fabric mark it as a building of importance, examples being its decorative door surround with fluted Ionic columns and its sash windows with no horns, which testify to its age. This structure makes a positive contribution to the street of Seatown and to Dundalk.
