The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as "one of the most important surviving early 18th-century houses in The Liberties", and the house is noted as being notable for having one of the earliest sets of engaged door columns in Dublin, foreshadowing the trend in later Georgian Dublin. The structure originally had a twin gable, a style of house which was influenced by French Huguenots fleeing mainland Europe when the Edict of Fontainebleau was revoked, and the arrival of Flemish and Dutch Protestant refugees in Dublin after the Battle of the Boyne. The building is one of few buildings of the 'Dutch Billy' design that survive in the area, albeit without its original twin gable intact. When the house was renovated and heavily remodeled 1894, it was largely reclad in factory made red brick with a gothic revival facade although much of the interior including the especially fine interior staircase was retained.
