A house representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of south County Dublin with the architectural value of the composition, one showing the development of the so-called "Royal Exchange Estate" as 'a picturesque garden city [with] houses of the new type…designed by architects and well designed too' (The Irish Builder and Engineer 4th February 1911, 80; cf. 60230019; 60230038; 60230041; 60260177; 60260193; 60260195; 60260198; 60260199; 60260230), suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a pillared porch; the silver-grey "opus incertum" stone work offset by red brick dressings producing a mild two-tone palette; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression with the principal "apartments" defined by polygonal bay windows; and the high pitched roofline.
