1-36 Damolly Row, Newry, Co Down, BT34 1PY

A terrace of 36 two-storey/ two-bay houses arranged as two contiguous blocks on north-east side of Damolly Row. Nos 1-26, which are all identical, are divided into five sub-blocks which step down the hill towards the north-west as follows: 1-6 (at top), 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-26 (at bottom). The orientation of the row changes slightly at no. 11. All have pitched natural slate roofs with plastic or metal rainwater goods, and a single brick chimney to right gable, most now rebuilt in red brick. The walls to street are random granite rubble, with stepped red brick dressings to doors and windows. Each house has a front door at left with plain transom light over. To right of door is a single window. At first floor is an identical window centred on façade. All windows have granite cills. With the exceptions noted below, none retain any original windows or doors. No.1 has had its brick dressings rendered in cement. Its right gable is wet dashed with a plastic window to ground floor and similar to first floor. Nos 7-12 have narrower transom lights than the others in the block. Nos 17 and 19 retain their 2/2 sliding sash windows (all with horns). Nos 27-36 are divided into two sub-blocks - 27-31 and 32-33-35-36 (no no.34) which step down the hill as before. These houses are lower than the upper section, have similar openings to facade, but no brick dressings. All have modern windows. Nos 27 and 28 are now one property (with door to no. 28 now a window). Nos 32-36 are identical to nos 27-31 but are wet dashed, over a smooth rendered base course. None retains any original windows or doors. The rear of all these properties have been much altered and most have gabled returns.
