Appraisal
A well composed small-scale house built as one of a group of twelve identical units (remainder in group not included in survey) recalling an earlier (post-1922) development in nearby Davitt Road North (see 15502083 - 84) intended for firemen stationed at the local firehouse. Distinctive attributes identifying a refined Classically-influenced architectural theme include the elegant Wyatt-style tripartite openings, the detailing about the door, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house remains as the last in the scheme to present an early aspect with the original or carefully replicated fabric surviving in place, thereby upholding some of the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in Davitt Road South.
