Appraisal
This house forms part of a fine terrace which is representative of architectural design and construction in the latter part of the nineteenth century in Ireland. The polychrome materials and varying forms of the openings are typical features of the eclectic style which was fashionable at that time. The retention of the original timber panelled doors, some timber sliding sash windows and the cast-iron railings enhance the significance of the group.
