What is recorded here

This house is located at a corner on the eastern side of the triangular market square of Chapelizod with an address at 39 Main Street. It is a square, two bay, two storey building with a slate roof, pitched to the E and hipped to the W, with paired square chimney-stacks in the SE corner of the roof. The house is entered from the N façade through a flat headed doorway. Its lintel lies below the level of the respective ground floor window lintel. Distinctively the corner of the building closest to market square has been chamfered at ground floor level to a rounded corner supporting the upper floor by an angled timber post. The windows with replacement timber sashes lying flush to the wall surface are arranged in an asymmetric fashion. Window opes are flat headed save for the S first floor window which is arched segmentally. The roof rises above an eaves cornice with dentils on edge apparent on the N façade but obscured on the W façade. The wall surface has a rough pebble dash render. Between the first floor windows of the N façade is a recessed armorial plaque (DU018-028008-) with a lion rampant and a motto/date above, which is obscured by over-painting.
