Appraisal
This modest Arts and Crafts cum Art Deco-style house adds to the variety of Monaghan Town's architectural forms. Its stepped plan and horizontal emphasis are typical of the early twentieth century. Its tall chimneys, varied window forms and the use of leaded glass all relate it to these modern styles. The retention of many integral features, especially to the front facade, contribute to its architectural heritage value.
