Appraisal
This building has a pleasing composition that is distinguished by a finely crafted shopfront. It is one of a pair, which together make a positive contribution to the architectural heritage and streetscape of Bantry. The retention of the sliding sash windows and corbelled eaves detailing further enliven the façade.
