Appraisal
The footprint of the terrace of three houses can be discerned on Corbett’s map of Dublin of 1821, and is clearly marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1837. The terrace maintains the same parapet height, contributing positively to the horizontal aspect of the streetscape. Though the timber sash windows have been replaced with uPVC windows, the diminishing windows create a well-proportioned façade, as was characteristic of domestic Georgian architecture.
