Appraisal
A screen wall forming part of a self-contained group alongside the adjacent Bank of Ireland (see 15503008) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement overlooking Crescent Quay. NOTE: A drawing by Sandham Symes (1807-94) shows a suite of outbuildings servicing the Bank of Ireland including a coach house; stables; and a kitchen with larder and pantry.
