Appraisal
This building, possibly originally two separate houses, has retained its well balanced Georgian facade. There are a number of attractive features including sash windows and a fine doorcase with its sunburst fanlight. The building is a striking feature of the streetscape of Main Street and contributes greatly to the architectural heritage of Kinsale.
