This house, built as one of a group of three, is of considerable social and historical importance as one of the earliest remaining houses in Maynooth. The house has been renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original fabric – the re-instatement of traditional-style timber fenestration, using the early models to the house to left (north-west; 11803036/KD-05-03-36) as a reference point, might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the house. The house has an attractive impact on the streetscape, framing Court House (originally Market House) Square to the north-east while continuing the established streetline and roofline of the terrace.
