Historical Information

A block of five houses is shown on the 1834 Valuation town map (unfortunately their dimensions cannot be determined from the corresponding Valuation book). The fact that the same block only contained four houses on the 1861 map suggests a complete rebuilt in the intervening period. The 1863 Valuation book describes the house as measuring 7.25yds x 9yds x 2.5 storeys (with a 1.75 storey return). A later 19thC Lawrence photograph shows a cast iron skylight to front pitch. All windows are 8/8 sliding sashes. Walls look harled. Railings on front dwarf wall. Primary sources: 1. Valuation town map, 1834 (PRONI, VAL/1D/3/2). 2. First Valuation book, 1835 (PRONI, VAL/1B/367). 3. OS town map, 1861 (PRONI, OS/8/27/1/5). 4. Second Valuation book, 1863 (PRONI, VAL/2B/3/65B, p.50). 5. Lawrence photograph no. 1193 (National Library of Ireland).
