No. 130 Thomas Street is a two-bay, three storey over basement. It features an unusual roof structure, comprising a broad pitch at the front running parallel to the street and a steep pitch-and-a-half at the rear running perpendicular to the street. A massive central chimneystick, characteristic of the 1650-1750 period, penetrates the centre of the plan along the eastern wall.The house layout comrises a two-room plan, with a large front room. The ground floor corridor features a horizontally timber-planked wall that may be an original stud partition dating to the late 1600's. The staircase is a dog-leg closed-string stair of c.1680-1710, with barley-sugar balustrades, moulded timber handrail and robust square newel posts. This is a former dwelling house of the c.1680-1710 period and is thought to be the most complete post-medieval structure to survive on Thomas Street (Dublin Civic Trust, November 2012).
