Appraisal
This former house retains its early scale and proportions typical of Georgian Dublin townhouses. It contributes to the historic character of James's Street. Historic maps show that James's Street was fully built by 1728. Despite its poor condition, it retains much historic fabric, including a carefully designed and executed carved doorcase.
