Appraisal
One of a pair of semi-detached houses that are distinguished from other nearby buildings by their gable-fronted elevations. Their early Victorian style, fenestration and historic character add interest to the coastal streetscape. Apparently built for John Arnott, who went on to found Arnott's shop in Dublin.
