Description

Built as one of terrace of five similar houses, this one having two openings to front first floor. Pitched slate roof with smooth-rendered chimneystack, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Coursed square limestone walls with smooth-rendered margin quoins. Camber-arch window openings with squared limestone voussoirs, replacement uPVC windows, and stone sills. Round-arch door opening with squared limestone voussoirs, timber panelled door, and original spoked fanlight. Set back from street with garden to front having boundary of cast-iron railings on saddleback plinth, fronted by flagstone footpath.
Appraisal
This house is one of an attractive terrace of five close to Saint Louis Convent at the south-west side of Monaghan Town. Varied tones of stone in the walls and of arch forms to the openings adds visual appeal, and the retention of the original boundary railings and gate, and of a timber spoked fanlight, add to its architectural heritage value.
