Appraisal
According to a plaque on this house, Charles Stewart Parnell addressed a meeting here in 1891. The association of this major figure of Irish history enhances the importance of this structure. The building is architecturally significant with its modest facade enlivened by details such as its tooled limestone plinth, ornate door and door furniture, label mouldings, stucco dressings and date plaque.
