Appraisal
This imposing structure retains most of its original features and materials making it a valuable contribution to the streetscape of Edenderry. Most notable are its ornate Neo-Classical fanlight, elegant bollection-panelled door, attractive door surround and cast-iron railings which create a striking facade. A unique feature of this house within the town is the entrance steps and platform which are supported by a vault.
