Terraced two-bay four-storey over basement house, built c.1790, now in use as healthcare clinic. M-profile pitched roofs. Parapet with granite capping to front (north) elevation. Shared chimneystack with clay chimneypots. Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond having later brown bricks to parapet. Cut granite plinth course over lined-and-ruled rendered walls to basement. Square-headed window openings having patent reveals and granite sills. Timber sash windows, three-over-three panes to third floor, six-over-six panes to other above ground openings, eight-over-eight panes to basement. Cut granite surround and wrought-iron bars to basement window. Round-arched door opening having painted masonry surround with engaged Ionic columns supporting a fluted frieze. Recent fanlight. Timber panelled door. Four granite steps to entrance platform. Cast-iron bootscrape to east of entrance. Cast-iron railings on granite plinth wall to steps having corner posts. Basement area enclosed from pavement by granite plinth wall with cast-iron railings. Square-headed door opening to basement having recent glazed timber door.

This generously proportioned house makes an important contribution to the streetscape. It retains many early features typical of Dublin Georgian architecture including sash windows, Ionic door surround, railings and basement area. Eccles Street was laid out in 1772 by the Gardiner Estate. It was to be an arterial route leading to Gardiner's ambitious yet unrealised Royal Circus, planned for the north-west end of Eccles Street. The south side of the street is an impressive, almost entirely, late eighteenth-century terrace with taller buildings to the centre of the terrace.
