Dublin Civic Trust's 'Survey of Gable-Fronted and Other Early Buildings of Dublin City' (2012) states 'This early eighteenth-century former townhouse has been extensively renovated with the loss of all original fabric to the interior. Possibly built as one of a pair with No.27, the building has had its chimney removed and has been refaced at least twice. However, the roof configuration and the façade composition with diminished fenestration to the uppermost floor would suggest that this was built as a gable-fronted house conforming to the pattern of the remainder of the terrace. Forming part of a rare stretch of early townhouses lining Eustace Street, the building contributes to what may be considered one of the earliest surviving streetscapes in the city.' It was used in the mid-nineteenth century as a merchants premises, printers, publishers, and as an office for the Imperial Fire & Life Insurance Company of London.
