Appraisal
A well composed small-scale house built as one of a group of twelve identical or near-identical units (including 15502084) intended for firemen stationed at the firehouse nearby (not included in survey). Distinctive attributes identifying a refined Classically-influenced architectural theme include the elegant Wyatt-style tripartite openings, the detailing about the door, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house remains as one of the last in the scheme to present an original aspect, thereby upholding the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in Davitt Road North.
