Appraisal
Said to have been used as army officer accommodation, this terrace has undergone alterations and lost original fabric, but retains its form, scale and character. With Leitrim House (16003009) and the rest of the terrace (16003010) it forms an important architectural set piece in the town, with its position facing the river making it a highly visible feature.
