Appraisal
An integral element in the streetscape of Bantry, this building retains its early character and form. The retention of finely crafted timber sliding sash windows adds interest to the façade. The render detailing of the shopfront is similar to mouldings visible on other buildings in the town and may point to a single craftsman working locally.
