Appraisal
This is a pleasant modest-scale house, built as part of a group of eight semi-detached workers' houses, by McDonaghs builders in the early twentieth century. The house has retained much of its historic fabric, including an IHS tile, the origins of which date back to 1913 when a retreat was given by a Franciscan priest, Fr Francis Donnelly, to the Poor Clare nuns of Galway.
