P.J. Roche

Terraced three-bay four-storey house, c.1825. Renovated, c.1900, with pubfront inserted to ground floor. Reroofed, c.1950. Part refenestrated. Pitched roof with replacement fibre-cement slate, c.1950, clay ridge tiles, red brick (shared) chimney stack (bond not discerned) having stepped capping supporting terracotta pots, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron brackets. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement two-over-two timber sash windows, c.1900, having replacement casement windows to top floor. Timber pubfront, c.1900, to ground floor with pilasters, fixed-pane (four-light) window, timber panelled double doors having overlight, fascia on consoles, and slate-lined moulded cornice. Street fronted with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.

An amiable house of the middle size retaining the simple architectural composition attributes together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric including a traditional Irish pubfront of artistic design interest displaying good quality carpentry: however, the continued introduction of replacement fittings to the openings threatens to undermine the status of the house in the streetscape of North Quay.
