Appraisal
The overall design of this attractive terrace is evident in the gables of the end and central houses. The Celtic Revival style shamrock motif used in the fine railings and gates, fits well with the Art and Crafts style of the houses. This form of urban living was getting a foothold in the Irish landscape during this period, which lends additional significance to a terrace such as this. This particular house has retained its timber sash ground floor windows.
