Appraisal
A house erected by Westport Urban Council as one of a pair representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Westport. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in Quay Road.
