Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair with its neighbour to the north, is part of a terrace that frames the approach into Emmet Square at the centre of Birr. Though simple in its overall design, modest features enhance its façade including a spoked fanlight and pilastered doorcase, as well as a segmental-headed integral carriage arch, accessing the rear site.
