Appraisal
This modest terraced house located on Vincent Avenue is a fine example of urban domestic architecture at the end of the nineteenth-century. The polychromatic brickwork enlivens the façade as does the use of moulded brick detailing and the crested ridge tiles. The retention of original features, such as the timber sliding sash windows and entrance door is also worthy of note. This house makes a positive addition to the streetscape and the architectural heritage of Dundalk.
