Appraisal
An attractive, modest-scale house of balanced proportions, which retains its original form. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings detract considerably from the overall appearance of the composition. An important survival is the Irish traditional shopfront, which is of particular artistic design distinction, and which enhances the visual appeal of the composition. The house forms an important component of the streetscape, contributing to the historic character of Brown Street.
