Appraisal
A house erected as one of a terrace of three houses (including 31215005 - 31215006) representing an integral component of the urban vernacular heritage of Ballinrobe. A prolonged period of unoccupancy notwithstanding, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing, if increasingly forlorn visual statement in Creagh Road.
