Appraisal
Located within a terrace of thirteen early nineteenth-century houses, this pleasant house of modest Georgian proportions forms an integral component of the north side of Summerhill Parade. This house retains its general composition and the granite steps and the plinth and railings to its boundary and contributes to the architectural character of the entire terrace which constitutes the northeast limits of Georgian Dublin.
