Appraisal
This house, built as one of a group of three similar houses, is a fine and substantial edifice composed of graceful balanced proportions centred about a fine doorway with Classically-inspired doorcase. The house has been well maintained to present an early aspect and retains most of its original features and materials – the replacement windows are not in keeping with the original integrity of the design and the re-instatement of traditional timber fenestration would restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance. The house, together with the neighbouring buildings to north-west (11816110 - 1/KD-26-16-110 - 1), is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Drogheda Street, distinguished by the juxtaposition of render and red brick in the construction.
