A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Courtown: meanwhile, aspects of the composition allegedly stem from a programme of "repair" necessitated to make good residual damage caused during an attack (1921) on the adjoining home of Sean R. Etchingham (1870-1923), leader of the 1916 Rising in Enniscorthy and later first Minister for Fisheries (fl. 1919-22; Kinsella 2004, 109).
