Appraisal
The scale and form of this former house make a positive contribution to the streetscape. Though many interesting features and materials have been replaced, this building is enhanced by the retention of the moulded render detail and by the early twentieth-century shopfront. The shopfront is a particularly notable feature of the building, as simple, well executed shopfronts such as this one are becoming increasingly rare in the Irish context, and are significant contributors to the streetscape.
