Why it mattered
house — James Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Claremorris with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such traits as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression with those openings showing sleek "stucco" refinements. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, thereby upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in James Street. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
