What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1900. One of a pair with the building adjacent to the east (15310124).

Shallow segmental-headed window openings with moulded red brick surrounds and replacement windows. Central round-headed doorway with moulded brick surround having a replacement glazed timber door with a plain overlight above. Set back from road with small garden to the front. Rendered boundary wall with decorative wrought-iron railings over to the street-frontage. Cast-iron gate posts supporting a wrought-iron gate give access from the north. Located to the south side of Austin Friars Street and to the east end of Mullingar.
A simple but well-proportioned red brick house, which retains its early form and character. The red brick walls, the shallow segmental-headed window openings and the moulded brick eaves course are typical of the period of construction and give this plain house a certain architectural character. This building is given greater significance by the matching building (15310124) to the east and by the survival of good quality wrought-iron railings to the front, which add attractive incident to the streetscape on the main approach road into the town from the east. These buildings are similar in form to a pair of red brick buildings to the west (15310021/22) but have greater visual impact on account of the railings to the front and by the moulded brick surrounds to the openings.
