house

End-of-terrace two-bay three-storey over basement former house, built c. 1820, as a group of three with the adjoining houses to the west. Now in use as surgery. Hipped felt roof, half-hipped roof to south, roughcast-rendered chimneystack, aluminium gutters, circular cast-iron downpipes. Red brick walling laid in Flemish bond, tooled limestone block-and-start quoins, rubble stone walling to south. Square-headed window openings, painted smooth rendered reveals, painted tooled stone sills, uPVC casement windows. Segmental-headed door opening, painted timber engaged fluted Doric columns supporting frieze, cornice and decorative petal fanlight, painted timber door with four flat panels, two limestone steps to entrance. Front site bounded by limestone plinth wall surmounted by cast-iron railings. Corner-sited fronting onto Fair Street, Scholes Lane to east.

This building, which is part of a small early-nineteenth-century terrace on Fair Street, maintains its original proportion and form along with many original and early features which add to its character and architectural interest. An example of such features is the fine entrance door with Doric surround and its fanlight. This building is of integral importance to the terrace and makes a positive contribution to the Drogheda streetscape.
