Description
Terraced two- or three-bay two-storey house, extant 1838[?] on a symmetrical plan. One of a pair. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles terminating in rendered chimney stacks having stepped capping supporting terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-limestone eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Rendered, ruled and lined walls on rendered plinth. Square-headed central door opening with moulded rendered surround on padstones framing timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with drag edged dragged cut-limestone sills, and moulded rendered surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A house erected as one of a pair representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Ballinrobe with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on an understated doorcase; and the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor with those openings showing sleek "stucco" refinements. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thereby upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in the streetscape.
