Appraisal
The single-bay two-storey form of this house and shop is unusual in the town and its modest size makes it a notable and pleasant feature on the streetscape. Its façade is dominated by the timber shopfront, the simple style of which accentuates the building. It is well crafted and the survival of such a shopfront is unusual in Irish towns today.
