A house erected as one of a pair of houses representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Wexford with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition confirmed by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing graduated visual impression; and the roof originally showing a thatch finish according to an entry in the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911).
