Square-headed window openings with brick voussoirs (replaced in red brick to third floor), painted rendered reveals, granite sills and timber six-over-six pane sliding sash windows with horns.

Modern timber panelled door with plain over-light leading to upper floors at west. Fronts directly onto street.
Appraisal
A fine brick terraced building representative of the standard form, detailing and proportion of nineteenth-century Georgian terraces in central Dublin, having combined commercial and residential use. The building benefits greatly from the retention of timber sash windows, and is well maintained. It contributes significantly to the historic built form of Mary Street, located in Capel Street ACA, one of Dublin's oldest commercial areas.
