Appraisal
This building derives particular significance from it's survival as one of the few nineteenth-century houses on Cork's now much altered city quays. The scale and form of this former house make a notable and positive addition to the quayside, and it is part of an interesting group with the three-storey former houses to the east and west along the quay. The building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows, timber panelled doors and slate roof. The shopfront is a particularly notable feature of the building and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
