Kilmore (House), built as one of a pair, is an attractive middle-size dwelling that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. The house is of social and historical significance, representing the continued development of the outskirts of Kildare town, probably as a result of the establishment of the railway station in the north of the town. The construction in red brick attests to the developments made in the manufacturing industry that allowed for the mass-production of economic building materials. The house retains many early or original salient features and materials, including timber sash fenestration, timber fittings to the door opening and a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. The tiled floor to the open internal porch, and the wrought iron railings to the boundary wall, are of some artistic merit. The house, together with the second in the pair (11817117/KD-22-17-117), is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Station Road.
