Appraisal
This notable house was built as part of a terrace of four, dated by a carriage arch to the centre of the group, which runs along the main street. Its composition of balanced proportions retains much of its original form and early character. The craftsmanship exhibited in its door surround is of note as is the large square-profile chimneystacks which indicates its eighteenth-century date. The well-executed and finely-carved limestone façade is representative of fine craftsmanship. The survival of original features and fabric enhances the structure, making it a fine contributor to the architectural heritage of Clones.
