Appraisal
The delicate moulding decoration to this house is particularly fine, attesting to the skill of its craftsmen and creates an aesthetically-pleasing Classical-influenced façade. Of particular note is the door surround, displaying an ensemble unique within this streetscape. The canted bay and lucarne are typical of the designs displayed along Stapleton Place, creating an appealing approach to Louth County Infirmary which forms the terminating vista of this street.
