Formerly terraced, now end-of-terrace two-bay four-storey house, built c.1740, having late nineteenth-century facade, with recent shopfront to ground floor. Four-storey return to rear. Recent flat roof hidden behind parapet to front (south) having granite capping. Pitched roof to return. Brown brick cruciform shared chimneystack. Red brick walls having red brick quoins and platband at parapet level. Rendered walls to rear. Recent red brick to east elevation. Square-headed window openings having granite sills. Segmental-arched window openings to rear having square-headed windows with rendered infill above. Replacement uPVC windows. Ground floor openings shuttered.
Despite considerable alterations, this house retains early proportions typical of Dublin townhouses. Its large central cruciform chimneystack shared with its neighbour to the west is a feature of Dutch Billys. Dutch Billys were a common building type in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, with gabled front facades, and many were later altered with the addition of the parapet roof fashionable in the Georgian era. Like many of the neighbouring houses, the ground floor subsequently had a commercial use. Thomas Street was laid out by the early eighteenth century and is an important thoroughfare linking the city centre with the west. Originally a mid-terrace building, no.133 was demolished by 1980, while no.132 was subsequently also demolished.
