A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one succeeding a house allegedly used to detain George King (1771-1839), Viscount Kingsborough, during the 1798 Insurrection (Kehoe 1985, 25), suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression; and the parapeted roofline.
