Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is of social and historic interest as part of a group of late eighteenth-century terraced houses that form the core of the earliest part of Rathangan. Built as one of a pair with the house immediately to north-west (11810044/KD-17-10-44), the house has been extensively renovated over the years leading to the loss of much of the early fabric, although the original form remains intact. The house is an integral component of the streetscape of Leinster Street, continuing the established streetline of the terrace while contributing to the undulating roofline of the north-west end of the street.
