This house rises an entire floor level above the terrace, and as such acts as a form of eye-catcher for the terrace. It is most likely that the third floor was added at a later date. It contributes to the intactness and uniformity of the terrace, which is of a modest scale when compared with the O'Connell Street (formerly George's Street). Newenham Street is named after Rev. Edward Newenham Hoare, who built the Trinity Church of Ireland Church.
