Geometric brick trim to parapet wall with outlet to south end feeding into cast-iron hopper and downpipe. Machine-made redbrick walls laid in English garden wall bond. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings with granite sills and single-pane timber sash windows with ogee horns. Replacement timber shopfront spanning ground floor with square-headed door opening to north bay having replacement timber panelled door and overlight providing access to upper floor.
Appraisal
Dublin Civic Trust's 'Survey of Gable-Fronted Houses and Other Early Buildings of Dublin' (2012) states 'This modest building exhibits a late nineteenth-century façade but potentially conceals a much earlier building. The large chimneystack at the centre of plan, the entrance at the opposite side and the overall diminutive proportions indicate a building of early to mid eighteenth-century in date.'
