Appraisal
This finely proportioned building forms part of a terrace of similar properties along Seatown Place in Dundalk. The scale and fenestration pattern punctuate the streetscape and contribute to the coherence of the character of the street. The fine timber sliding sash windows, doorcase and decorative fanlight enhances the character of the building.
