Appraisal
Located in the centre of Clonakilty, this building forms an integral part of a terrace of similarly scaled buildings. The steeply pitched roof is suggestive of an eighteenth century date. Its symmetrical façade is enlivened by the upper floor render detailing, while the decorative shopfront, with ornate giant consoles and render pilasters, adds artistic interest to both building and streetscape.
