Appraisal
Set overlooking Crosshaven harbour this simple house is an interesting addition to the architectural heritage. Crosshaven's historic fabric predominantly dates to the latter part of the nineteenth century, making this a particularly early building in the town. Its imposing vertical form and relatively small window openings are typical early features.
