What is recorded here

End-of-terrace two-bay three-storey house, built c.1785. One of a pair with building to the north. Pitched natural slate roof with projecting eaves course and a shared roughcast rendered chimneystack to north end. Roughcast rendered walls over smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills and replacement windows. Round-headed doorcase to north end with limestone block-and-start surround, timber panelled door and plain fanlight over. Road-fronted on corner site.
A substantial terraced house which retains its early form and character. The fine doorcase is a noteworthy feature of artistic merit. This attractive terrace was constructed in the late eighteenth-century, a period of relative economic prosperity in Ireland, and probably originally housed a local merchant family. This building remains an important component of the historic streetscape of Athlone.
