Appraisal
A house erected as one of a pair of houses (including 15605200) identified as an integral component of the urban vernacular heritage of New Ross by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated tiered visual effect; and the high pitched roof showing a small cut slate finish.
