What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay two-storey prison officer's house, built 1895, as part of terrace of six, with shared advanced gable-fronted bay. Now in use as private house. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Carved timber bargeboards to advanced bay, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with painted limestone quoins to gable-fronted bay. Square-headed openings with painted brick block-and-start surrounds, having replacement uPVC windows and door and stone sills. Decorative cast-iron boundary railings to front of site.

This modest house forms part of a terrace of similarly-designed and detailed buildings that occupy a prominent site on Emmet Street built as a scheme to accommodate prison officers and their families, close to the former gaol. Its façade is enlivened by brick surrounds and quoins and by the cast-iron railings and rainwater goods. The shared gable is an interesting feature.
