Appraisal
A fine late nineteenth-century end-of-terrace brick house, one of a terrace of six similar properties prominently located on Park Place. The decorative treatment includes gauged brick enlivened by restrained stucco detailing, typical of late Victorian domestic urban architecture. As a group, they make a strong contribution to the architectural character and variety of this area of Dublin, close to the Phoenix Park, further enhanced by the retention of original door and boundary features.
