Appraisal
A modest-scale house exhibiting unassuming architectural design aspirations representing an element of the early twentieth-century domestic architectural heritage of Gorey. Although presently (2005) out of use, having been well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with the elementary composition attributes surviving in place together with most of the original fabric, thereby upholding the status as an important component contributing positively to the character of a streetscape undergoing continued commercial redevelopment since the late twentieth century.
