Hansberry House

1870 CORNER SITED END OF ROW 3 STOREY HOUSE


Hansberry House is an impressive building bookending a row of modest houses. 

History

Hansberry House is the earliest of the buildings. It has been dated by the NIAH to c. 1780, but may date to the early nineteenth century. At the eastern end of the range is Spire House, which dates to the 1860’s.

Between both larger buildings is a two-storey terrace comprising of No’s 56, 57, 58 and 59 Shantalla Road. The most interesting building is No. 58, due to its visible architectural attributes. Dating to the early nineteenth century, little is known about its early history but, in its form, it is a fine example of a small Georgian house, complementing its larger neighbour to the West.
