Vertical tiling on an old house

I spotted this house in Kinsale and it reminded me of a house on Grand Parade in Cork that has the same vertical tiling or tile hanging on its walls.

I also saw the same tiling on a house opposite that one in Grand Parade in a painting called Skellig Night on South Mall 1845 by James Beale. There’s a fabulous high-resolution image of that painting at the URL above. I thought it was unusual to see two buildings with that distinctive decoration opposite each other like that. I’m not sure if the one on Grand Parade existed in 1845. The artist’s viewpoint was looking away from it, down South Mall.
