Well maintained late-nineteenth century gatelodge to the Church of Ireland Bishop's Palace. Significant in retaining much original fabric, such as its unusual windows and tooled step to entrance door. Important also for its association with St. Finbar's Cathedral and for its contribution to the character of the streetscape.
