Appraisal
A charming small-scale house forming part of an attractive ensemble of two contemporary houses (with 15605192) representing an element of the early nineteenth-century domestic architectural legacy of New Ross retaining the simple architectural attributes, including a splayed doorcase reminiscent of the so-called 'Morrison doorcase' characteristic of the locality, together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric, thereby maintaining the streetscape character of Mary Street Upper.
