Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house incorporating architectural features characteristic of the period of construction, including canted bay windows and stone lintels. It retains it early form and fabric and the early use of rusticated concrete blocks is an interesting feature. The elaborate limestone doorcase is of artistic merit. It remains an important feature on the Ballymahon road in a very attractive terrace of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century terraced houses of varying appearance.
