Appraisal
This simple and well-proportioned house contributes to the architectural heritage of Roscommon town. Decorative features and fabric including six-over-six timber sash windows, stucco enrichments and a petal fanlight embellish the exterior. The iron railings to the front of site complete the house's setting.
