Appraisal
This building forms part of a pair that retains many of its original finishes. It is a good example of late Victorian suburban housing which was popular on the outskirts of Cork City in the mid nineteenth century. Though this house has lost some of its traditional features, the adjoining house could be use as a template for the reinstatement of fabric in the future.
