Appraisal

The scale and form of this building is in keeping with the fine historic terrace of which it is an integral part. The three-storey scale of much of the historic core gives the town a sense of prosperity and grandeur. The traditional timber sliding sash windows and wide eaves are characteristic of Clonakilty and are noteworthy traditional features.
