Appraisal
Unlike the rest of the terrace to which it is attached, this house and its immediate neighbour to the south are distinguished by a basement level and red brick faced façade. This more sober detailed house contributes to the architectural heritage of O'Connell Avenue, giving added variety to the hugely varying typologies of domestic architecture on the Avenue.
