Appraisal
This modest house, opposite the main entrance to Mellifont Abbey, is a picturesque building which contributes to the architectural heritage of Collon. The half-dormered roof with curvaceous bargeboards serves to reduce the height of the building. The sash windows are an interesting survival.
