A Dutch Billy style house has been identified at this location, a detail that places it within a tradition of construction that was once far more prevalent across the capital than anything surviving today would suggest.

Dutch Billies, as they are known colloquially, are houses characterised by their curvilinear or stepped gabled frontages, a form that arrived in Ireland largely during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, brought by Huguenot refugees and Dutch Protestant settlers who came in considerable numbers following the Williamite wars. The name itself is a popular reference to King William III, though the style predates his reign and has broader roots in northern European mercantile architecture. Dublin once had streets lined with these gabled houses, particularly in the Liberties and surrounding areas, but most were demolished or drastically altered during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as tastes shifted toward the flat-fronted Georgian terraces that now define much of the city. The identification at this location was made by Barry O'Reilly, a researcher with detailed knowledge of vernacular and early urban building traditions in Ireland, though the precise date of construction remains unestablished.

Because the exact address is not publicly specified in the available record, visiting with purpose requires some preparation. Those interested in Dutch Billy survivals in Dublin more generally would do well to consult published surveys of early Dublin housing stock, which map a small number of remaining examples across the older parts of the city south of the Liffey. The gabled roofline, where it has not been obscured by later alterations or render, is the most immediate thing to look for. Many survivals are fragmentary, with the distinctive profile visible only at roof level or in the profile of a party wall. This particular example exists in the record as an identified survival rather than a formally protected or interpreted site, which makes it the kind of thing more likely to be noticed by someone already looking than by a casual passer-by.
