Appraisal
Located behind finely-carved limestone piers and decorative cast-iron railings, this house displays architectural qualities typical of the mid nineteenth century. Although a later addition, the elaborate Classically-styled porch enlivens the otherwise plain façade. The fine cut stone piers, with elaborate fluted frieze and capping stone to the south originally accessed the rear yard through a carriage arch. This is now used as the main entrance to the Brosna Lodge Hotel next door.
