Exterior Description And Setting

No. 174 a two storey, mid of three terrace, three bays wide, rendered in Tyrolean externally, asbestos slate roof with low chimney at either end of ridge. Between floors on entrance elevation a pitched band rendered as walls running length of house and in line with slated bands of house on either side. It can be assumed that the wall is thicker at ground floor level and steps back at first floor level as buildings either side. ( See HB01/27/008A.) The door is centred on elevation with tripartite window on either side similar to No. 172. Door is sheeted timber, first floor windows sliding sash, 9 pane centred on windows below. The detailing is more or less as No. 172. Half round metal gutter but none to setback. Windows, door and plinth painted black. There is a two storey extension to the rear creating a double pile. It is more or less a continuation of the extension to No. 172.

Historical Information

The terrace is indicated on OSS 14 1830 and it is probable that it was single storey at that time and erected as tenant houses by the Culmore Estate or the Irish Society. The upper floor was probably added after 1860. References: OS Map 1830 Co Londonderry sheet 14,
