Appraisal
Ivy House terminates Victoria Terrace on O'Moore Street and is similarly scaled to adjacent houses in the terrace. It retains many original elements and features which heighten its architectural merit. The entranceway with its engaged stone columns and ornate spider web fanlight enlivens the façade and the plinth wall which bounds the front site, with its fine limestone piers and wrought-iron railings, completes the setting.
