Appraisal
The footprint of the terrace of three houses can be discerned on Corbett’s map of Dublin of 1821, and is clearly marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1837. The terrace rises above its two-storey neighbours, contributing to a pleasing variety in the streetscape. The diminishing windows create a well-proportioned façade, as was characteristic of domestic Georgian architecture.
