Appraisal
An attractive terraced house which retains its early form, character and much of its early fabric. It forms part of an appealing terrace dating to the rapid development of Ballynacarrigy following the arrival of the Royal Canal in the early nineteenth-century and is the only building in this terrace of four which retains its natural slate roof. The retention of the fine cut stone door surround and the survival of the simple vernacular shopfront makes this structure an important and appealing element in the streetscape of Ballynacarrigy.
