Appraisal
Positioned on the Market Square, this tall urban house has retained its original form and some features. The two-over-two timber sashes are a typical mid Victorian window type, which succeeded the earlier multiple pane, six-over-six style. As part of a group of three, within a larger terrace, this house brings character to the centre of Birr.
