Appraisal
This house is part of an impressive terrace of red brick houses on the road into Monaghan from Derry. The terrace constitutes a fine example of the type of housing built beyond the immediate centre of Victorian towns around the turn of the nineteenth century to alleviate the overcrowding of town centres. Despite the loss of some integral fabric, principally window and door fittings, this building and the rest of its group are a significant part of the architectural heritage of Monaghan Town.
