Appraisal
This house and former shop is typical of late nineteenth-century urban architecture. The façade is enhanced by simple decorative elements such as the brackets to the eaves and first floor sills. The building retains its timber sash windows and the small shopfront frames the large glazed window with ornate render pilasters and a heavy cornice. Shopfronts such as this are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.
