Appraisal
This house, built as a pair with its neighbour to the west, is an attractive structure which enhances the streetscape. The attention to detail, an example being the elaborate console brackets which support the cornices above the windows on the projecting gable-fronted bay and above the entrance door, elevates this structure from its neighbours. This house makes a positive addition to the varied architectural heritage of Drogheda.
