What is recorded here
Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1820, having integral carriage arch to front (east) elevation. Pitched roof hidden behind parapet to front (east) with granite capping. Shared rendered chimneystacks having clay chimneypots. Brown brick walls laid in Flemish bond. Square-headed window openings having patent reveals and painted granite sills. Replacement timber sash windows. Round-headed door opening having timber panelled door, plain fanlight above. Elliptical relieving arch to ground floor north bay having square-headed opening with double leaf timber battened doors.
This terraced house retains its early form and character. Together with neighbouring numbers 10,11 and 13, as well as the similar pair opposite, it contributes to the urban character of Pim Street. Early fabric remains in the brickwork, granite parapet and sills. Construction of the Grand Canal was completed in 1797 providing a waterway connection between Dublin and the River Shannon. This appears to have encouraged street development in the area, with Pim Street being laid out shortly after, appearing in Wilson's Street Directory listing by 1815.
