A house erected as one of a terrace of six identical houses (including 15502156; 15502190 - 15502192; 15504028) representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one allegedly erected for occupation by a veteran returning from the Battle of Waterloo (1815; Rowe and Scallan 2004, 904), suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the very slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original fabric: however, the introduction of replacement fittings to the openings has not had a beneficial impact on the external expression or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Waterloo Road.
