Appraisal
Built as a pair with its neighbour to the east,(50020271) this is an example of the residential buildings with shops built after the Wide Street Commission had developed D'Olier and Westmoreland Streets. Although it has been somewhat altered, the brick work and quoins add to the character of this narrow street. The pair maintain the parapet height and fenestration arrangement of the neighbouring buildings, making a positive contribution to the continuity of the streetscape.
