Appraisal
This building forms part of a fine terrace which was built by the Cork Villa and House Company Limited. The architectural form of the terrace makes a positive contribution to the streetscape and it is a significant piece in the urban landscape. The materials utilised in the construction of this group, such as the grey limestone, red brick and pale terracotta add colour and textural interest to the surrounding area.
