Appraisal
Modest in design and small in stature, this house exhibits the simple and functional form of vernacular building in Ireland. Its steeply pitched roof with substantial chimneystack and small window openings all indicate an early date. Probably originally thatched, this house reflects a type of architecture becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural settings in Ireland.
