Appraisal
An elegantly-composed Classically-proportioned middle-size house built by William Colles (n. d.) of the famed Kilkenny Marble Works as one of a pair (with 12001052/KK-4766-14-52) contributing positively to the formal quality of the street scene. Fine cut-limestone dressings including a particularly distinctive doorcase exhibiting high quality stone work enhance the architectural design value of the composition. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the original composition attributes intact together with substantial quantities of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive impression in an historic setting.
