Appraisal
A well-proportioned house of modest appearance, which retains most of its original form to the upper floors, together with important early salient features and materials, enhancing the historic quality of the site. The shopfront to ground floor, while conforming to the arrangement of an Irish traditional model, has been fashioned in materials that do not assimilate well into the overall composition. The house is an important component of the streetscape, and contributes to the historic character of the locality.
