Appraisal
This pair of houses, built in 1923 after the burning of Knockcroghery, replaced a single-storey thatched building that operated as a clay pipe factory. Today the houses retain many original materials and features from the 1920s including timber sash windows. Built in a style used during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this pair contribute to the character of the main street in the town.
