Appraisal
A house erected by Patrick O'Neill (----) of Market Square representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Enniscorthy with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; and the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Mill Park Road.
