Terrace of twenty two-bay two-storey former railway workers' houses, built c. 1880, now in use as private houses. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, raised gable to west brick verge copings, red brick corbelled chimneystack, projecting eaves, buff brick corbel course, painted timber fascia, cast-iron gutters, cast-iron downpipe. Red brick English bond walling, projecting chamfered plinth, buff brick string course to first floor sill level, buff brick banded dentilled cornice. Segmental-headed window openings, tooled stone sills, buff brick voussoirs, painted timber two-over-two sliding sash windows to first floor, four-over-one to ground. Round-headed door opening, buff brick voussoirs, plain glazed fanlight, painted timber panelled door, stone threshold. Street fronting, garden to north. Various replacement fittings and roofing materials to some houses.

This terrace is a fine example of late Victorian domestic housing built for railway workers. Built in the late 19th century by the Great Northern Railway they are a reminder of Dundalk's industrial past. The polychromatic brickwork of the façade adds interest and enriches the design.
