Appraisal
This modest house of c.1800 seems to be an infill building sited in the forecourt of an older house at the rear. Its scale and detailing are similar to that of other buildings on this interesting streetscape. The use of brick is a distinctive feature of the village of Chapelizod and the relatively well-preserved facade of this house enhances the streetscape.
