Square-headed tripartite windows to the west end of the front façade (north) having a central six-over-one pane timber sliding timber sash window at first floor level and a central one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window to the ground floor. Square-headed doorcase to the east side of the main facade, set in square-headed recess with curved corners, having a glazed timber door with flanking sidelights and overlight. Square-headed window opening over with six-over-one pane timber sliding sash window. Set back from road in own grounds to the south side of College Street and to the north side of Mullingar Town.
Appraisal
A modest early twentieth-century house, of a type that is now rare in Westmeath. The tripartite timber sliding sash windows, the recessed door and the balanced front façade lend this building a distinctive character. This building is an interesting addition to the built heritage of Mullingar, making a positive contribution to the streetscape to the north of Mullingar Town centre.
