Appraisal
This modest terrace house is set facing one of the main streets in Carrickmacross. The well-executed and finely-carved chimneystacks and copings is representative of fine craftsmanship. Although modest in scale and simple in design the structure continues to play an important part in Carrickmacross’s streetscape and its architectural heritage.
