Appraisal
This house, built as one of a group of three, is an attractive building of social interest, representing the small-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of Celbridge in the early to mid nineteenth century. Renovated in the late twentieth century to accommodate an alternative use the house nevertheless retains most of its original form, with early or original features in situ, including a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. The house is of interest for its relationship with its neighbours immediately to south-west, and for its impact on Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the street, while contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace.
