Appraisal
A standard terraced building located in Capel Street, typically proportioned and detailed, with later replacement windows and shopfront. It is representative of nineteenth-century developments in the area, having combined commercial and residential use. The building contributes to the historic built form of Capel Street ACA, one of Dublin's oldest commercial streets.
