Appraisal
This building, which is part of a small early-nineteenth-century terrace on Fair Street, maintains its original proportion and form along with many original and early features which add to its character and architectural interest. An example of such features is the fine entrance door with Doric surround and its fanlight. This building is of integral importance to the terrace and makes a positive contribution to the Drogheda streetscape.
