Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive substantial composition of balanced proportions that has been very well restored in the late twentieth century to present an early aspect. The house, together with the second in the pair (22500249/WD-5632-16-246), forms an appealing feature in the streetscape of O’Connell Street and is distinguished by an elegant rendered doorcase.
