Built as one of a pair, this house commands excellent views of the harbour. It forms part of a group of fine semi-detached houses built in the area in the latter part of the nineteenth century when Monkstown became a popular coastal resort. It retains much of its original form and character, with the canted bays, overhanging eaves, eaves course and fine slate roof being notable original features.
