Appraisal
The plan, scale and form of this house are typical of the work of the Congested District Board, which was established in the latter part of the nineteenth century to improve housing conditions. The Board continued its work into the first decades of the twentieth century, at which time it was absorbed into the Land Commission. The red brick dressing lend a slightly urban character to the building, which in form adheres to the traditional farmhouse.
