Appraisal
This fine building with its expansive façade is set within an important terrace of buildings along the main street of Ballineen. The house retains much of its historic character through the retention of the key features including a fine slate roof and an excellent shopfront. Its unusual render label mouldings are attractive additions to the facade adding further character to the building.
