Appraisal
This house is a standard late nineteenth-century terraced shop located in a varied block of buildings along Talbot Street. It is representative of the mixed commercial and residential buildings that were typical in this area of Dublin and, despite loss of shopfront, it retains original proportions and contributes to the historic streetscape.
