This finely proportioned building maintains the strong street line and proportions of this part of Charleville Mall. It is an integral component of the streetscape and this Georgian terrace occupies a notable site facing the Royal Canal. The terrace originally comprised thirteen houses, but after the bombing of the North Strand in 1941 some of the houses were so badly damaged that demolition was required.
