Appraisal
A notable house set in a varied terrace of nineteenth and twentieth-century buildings, defining the heart of Chapelizod. This house, although it has lost historic fabric, by its scale and form contributes to the eclectic nature of the terrace, retaining original proportions and front entrance raised over basement. It contributes to the eclectic character that is central to the architectural character and streetscape of Chapelizod.
