Appraisal
A modest late Georgian house, built as part of a terrace, at the northeast end of Warrington Place. The houses have good Doric doorcases, well-balanced proportions and retain common setting features, spoked fanlights and timber sliding sash windows. This house retains its glass lantern to the fanlight. The scale of the terrace contrasts with the properties in the rest of the street and is a good representation of early to mid-nineteenth-century domestic architecture in Dublin. Warrington Place was laid out 1791, but built in the early nineteenth century, as indicated by date stone of 1814 refitted to modern office block.
