Appraisal
A house identified as an integral component of the urban vernacular heritage of New Ross by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the centralised openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression; and the high pitched roofline.
