Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive substantial composition of balanced proportions that, with the exception of a remodelled opening to ground floor, has been very well restored in the late twentieth century to present an early aspect. The house, together with the second in the pair (22500248/WD-5632-16-247), forms an appealing feature in the streetscape of O’Connell Street and is distinguished by an elegant rendered doorcase.
