Appraisal
A pleasing ornate façade retaining well executed render detailing and early timber sliding sash windows. The sill guards are an interesting feature and serve as a reminder of a time when cattle were herded through the streets on market day. A distinctive building which contributes to the architectural heritage of the Bantry streetscape.
