Appraisal

An attractive end-terraced house, one of a group of three similar properties prominently located on Park Place. The decorative treatment includes banded stucco and vermiculated quoins, typical of late Georgian / early Victorian taste. The house also benefits from the retention of attractive cast-iron balconettes. As a group, they make a strong contribution to the architectural character and variety of this area of Dublin, close to the Phoenix Park.
