Quote from Buildings of Ireland:
This attractive row of twenty worker's houses was built in 1892 by the Cairnes Trust of Cairne's Brewery for the workers in their brewery, this terrace is a highly attractive example of philanthropic housing at the end of the nineteenth century. Their modest designs are enhanced by the canopies with their finely crafted bargeboards and brackets. Situated on a height overlooking the town, these houses with their associated gardens and access lanes form a charming insular complex which is an important feature within the architectural heritage of Drogheda.
