Appraisal
This house was built as part of a scheme of local authority housing. Houses were built by various authorities from the late nineteenth century onward to improve living conditions, with the Land Commission and Congested District Boards being well known rural housing types. Local planning authorities took over this role following the foundation of the State. This modest house is typical of its time and retains its original form and features such as the timber sliding sash windows and tiled roof.
