Appraisal
Looking out onto Rosse Row and the impresive walls of Birr Castle Demesne, this modest house has some unusual features. Tooled stone sills with supporting brackets and wrought-iron balconettes, differentiate this structure from its neighbours. The similar massing of this structure with that of its neighbours makes it an integral part of the terrace and a emphasises the coherent nature of the streetscape of Rosse Row.
