Regarding Seanbhaile Patrick Keating Former Home. The National Built Heritage Service Appraisal states:

An unusual house which retains many interesting, salient features. The fine block-and-start doorcase is of artistic interest. The asymmetrical layout of the windows and the large gap between ground and first floor windows suggests that this building may contain the fabric of an older structure. This attractive building, now somewhat isolated by the demolition of the rest of the terrace, is an important component of the architectural heritage of Athlone and adds to the historic character of the area.
