Appraisal
A modest-scale house built as one of a group of three identical or near-identical units (with 15605074, 76) representing an element of the mid nineteenth-century domestic architectural heritage of New Ross. However, although the elementary composition attributes prevail, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the collective ensemble in the street scene, the character or external expression of the house has been undermined by the introduction of replacement fittings to the openings.
