PLANNING

Kilrowan House is not a protected structure but is listed within the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. It is described as follows;

A townhouse erected as one of a pair (including 31212204) representing an important component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition, one rooted firmly in the contemporary Edwardian fashion, confirmed by such attributes as the compact plan form; the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression with the principal "apartments" defined by a handsome bay window; and the high pitched gabled roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior where contemporary joinery; restrained Classical-style chimneypieces; and plasterwork refinements, all highlight the artistic potential of a townhouse forming part of a neat self-contained group making a pleasing visual statement overlooking Altamont Street.
