Appraisal
The Arts and Crafts style of this house, as well as the Modernist style of its rear block make it an unusual feature in Mallow. Features of note, typical of architecture of its style and era, are the steep dormer roof, rounded corners and windows, and the tall chimneystacks. The retention of the timber and metal casement windows and the panelled door enhances the form of the building, while the retention of original varying materials enlivens the façade.
