Appraisal
A handsome, well-proportioned middle-size house retaining its original form and early fabric. The house is distinguished by the fine rendered detailing, particularly the decorative doorcase, which is of artistic merit and which attests to high quality craftsmanship. The house remains an important component of the architectural heritage of Tallow and contributes significantly to the streetscape value of Chapel Street (Capel Street).
