Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house built as one of an identical or near-identical pair (second in pair not included in survey) representing an element of the mid nineteenth-century domestic architectural heritage of Wexford Town. Having been well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with the elementary form and massing surviving in place together with much of the historic fabric, thereby contributing positively to the urban vernacular quality of the street scene.
