Appraisal
An appealing mid twentieth-century International style house, which retains much of its original form and massing, despite additions to the rear. The house is representative of the continued development, on an individual basis, of the suburbs of Limerick in the mid twentieth century. This house forms one of a very interesting group of International style houses in the suburb of Castletroy.
