Appraisal
This mid-Georgian building retains much of its early form and design, and fabric including timber sash windows which lend a patina of age. The decreasing scale of fenestration creates a well-balanced façade. The Dublin Street Directory of 1862 lists it as the property of John Carroll, Victualler, indicating that there is a long commercial history associated with this site.
