Replacement uPVC rainwater goods. Red brick walling laid to English bond to upper floors. Diminishing square-headed window openings with brick voussoirs, plain reveals and granite sills, and having replacement uPVC windows throughout.

Dublin Civic Trust's, 'Survey of gable-fronted and other early buildings of Dublin', (2012) states 'The Victorian tenement-like appearance of this building conceals a substantial former townhouse of probable early eighteenth-century date. This is evidenced by the former angled chimneybreast in the shop unit, a closet return structure to the rear and a plan correlation with the house on Rocque’s map of 1756 - all of which suggest a formerly gable-fronted house.' A significant early building, it contributes to the historic built form of Capel Street ACA.
