Appraisal
Though this substantial terraced house has lost original fabric, it retains much of its character, not least due to its relative height over surrounding structures. The most notable feature of the building is its decorative render detailing, particularly to the window openings, which is skillfully executed, making this structure a vital component to the streetscape of Tullamore.
