Carved timber shopfront comprising pilasters with capitals supporting architrave, fascia board and dentillated cornice. Triple of elliptical-headed display windows with metal window guard.

Appraisal
A distinctive building retaining a skilfully crafted and attractive shopfront. The arcade motif exhibited in the display window is a popular feature in shopfronts along Main Street and this may indicate the workmanship of a local group of craftsmen. The retention of the carriage arch is significant as with modernisation these are becoming less visible in the Irish townscape.
