Dublin Civic Trust, 'Survey of Gable-Fronted Houses and Other Early Buildings of Dublin City', 2012, 'Built as one of a pair with No. 77, this former townhouse exhibits a mid to late eighteenth-century external composition, including a massive central chimneystack, and appears to retain its original transitional-style roof structure, being unlikely to have been gable-fronted originally. The tall shopfront would indicate a former part exposed basement, infilled to provide a commercial unit at street level during the nineteenth century. Forming part of an impressive collection of early townhouses lining Aungier Street, this former house makes a significant contribution to the early appearance and appeal of the streetscape.'
