Appraisal
Though derelict and having fallen into disrepair, this house retains enough material to indicate its importance as a contributor to the architectural heritage of Portarlington. Together with the adjoining dwelling, Kilmalogue House, it is an interesting example of an eighteenth-century house in Portarlington.
