Appraisal
This substantial town house retains much of its original form and structure. The building is a fine example of early nineteenth century urban domestic architecture. The doorway is particularly ornate having heavy foliate consoles, limestone steps and decorative cast- and wrought-iron railings. This terrace serves as a reminder of Youghal's economic prosperity during the early nineteenth century.
