house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c.1860. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks with terracotta pots and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with smooth rendered plinth. Timber sash windows with moulded stucco surrounds and stone sills. Square-headed door opening with moulded stucco surround and replacement glazed timber door.

Number 2 Pound Street portrays a modest symmetry and simple architectural detailing which is characteristic of many modest urban terraced houses found throughout Ireland. The simple render detailing highlighting the window and door openings is worthy of note, as are the two-over-two timber sash windows. The building maintains the roofline of its neighbours as well as the proportion and form, making a positive contribution to the streetscape.
