Appraisal
This elegantly proportioned house has retained much of its original form and character. It is one of a long terrace of houses located on the west side of Emmet Square, formerly known as Shannon Square after the Earls of Shannon, which was laid out between 1785 and 1810 to accommodate the wealthy merchants of the town.
