What is recorded here

Attached single-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1810, now in use as retail outlet with offices to upper floors. Roof concealed behind rendered parapet with granite coping, brick chimneystack with lipped yellow clay pots to west party wall. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls with rusticated quoins to north end with moulded hood cornice over first floor and render plaque over second floor. Rendered walls to rear (north) elevation. Square-headed window openings with granite sills, rendered architraves and late-nineteenth century two-over-two timber sliding sash windows with ogee horns, some with early glass. Recent timber shopfront spanning ground floor. Street fronted on north side of Leeson Street Lower.
Together with the surviving Georgian townhouses on the street, the building is a significant contributor to the historic character of the south city Georgian core. It appears to have been originally built as a single building with no.100, and though altered with render decorative additions to the upper floors, the building maintains its traditional proportions. Development of Leeson Street Lower commenced during the latter decades of the eighteenth-century and was largely completed by the early-nineteenth century.
