Built as part of a pair with the building adjacent to the east (15310022). Pitched natural slate roof having a red brick chimneystack to either end (east and west). Red brick walls having a moulded brick eaves cornice with saw-tooth detail. Rendered finish to the gable end (west) having brick quoin detail. Segmental-headed window openings with replacement windows. Segmental-headed doorway, adjacent to carriage arch towards the east end of the front façade (south), having replacement glazed timber door with a plain overlight. Timber sheeted double doors to the carriage arch. Road-fronted towards the west end of Mullingar.
Appraisal
A good solid late nineteenth-century house, built as one of a pair with the building adjacent to the east (15310022), which retains much of its early form and character despite the loss of the early fittings to the openings in recent years. This robust structure is well-built using red brick with the pronounced moulded brick eaves cornice an interesting feature that helps to enliven the front façade. This structure has a strong presence in the streetscape and is an addition to the built heritage of Mullingar.
