house

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850. One of a terrace of six. Pitched natural slate roof with cast-iron rainwater good and a moulded brick chimneystack to the either end, the one to the west shared with adjacent property (15310041). Ruled-and-line rendered walls with projecting brick eaves cornice having saw-tooth detail. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills and replacement windows. Central round-headed doorcase with architraved surround, bracketed timber lintel and timber paneled door. Plain fanlight over. Set slightly back from road with small garden to the front (north). Low plinth wall to road frontage with wrought-iron railings over. Cast-iron gate posts and wrought-iron gates. Located to the west end of Mullingar.

A good quality and well-proportioned mid nineteenth-century terraced house, which retains much of its early character and form. The first house of an elegant terrace of six. Its pleasing symmetry and the retention of the original doorcase with surround makes this house a pleasant addition to the streetscape. However, the loss of the original fittings to the window openings detract somewhat from its visual appeal. The wrought-iron railings, cast-iron gate posts and wrought-iron gates add attractive incident to Patrick Street.
