Appraisal
Located within an expansive terrace, this house forms an integral component of an historic mixed Georgian and Victorian streetscape. Its wide, slightly asymmetrical façade contributes to the rhythm of the streetscape while the voussoirs to the openings, and the granite sills, further articulate the façade. The coal hole cover in the footpath was manufactured by the notable firm of Henshaw of Dublin.
