Appraisal
This house forms one of four terraced houses (including 21513005) and as such one of the most intact lengths of Georgian streetscapes on Patrick Street. Patrick Street derives its name from the Arthur family who were distinguished in history for amongst other things, the laying out and construction of Arthur's Quay, which is now demolished. Patrick Street is roughly contemporary and dates to the last decades of the eighteenth century. The survival of this house, which is of some rarity in this part of the city, is to the enrichment of Limerick City.
