Appraisal
Formerly the residence of Michael Doheny, the prominent Young Irelander, this elegantly proportioned house is a notable feature on the old Dublin road into Cashel. Its regular form is enhanced by the deep chimneystacks and overhanging eaves, and the decorative door surround and fanlight enliven the façade.
