Appraisal
This substantial house, originally built has part of a formal terrace, retains its character and form. The massive chimneystack suggests that this building was constructed during the mid-to-late eighteenth-century. Pleasantly proportioned, this building could be transformed by a sensitive restoration and remains an important component of the streetscape of O'Connell Street.
