The southern section of Seville Place was developed after the arrival of the railway in the 1830-40s. This terrace, built in the second half of the nineteenth century was part of a wave of development in the area in that period, perhaps spurred on by the construction of the nearby Saint Laurence O'Toole church, and the ecclesiastical and educational buildings which followed it. This house plays a vital role in an attractive terrace of five well proportioned houses which contributes to the architectural heritage of the area.
