Appraisal
The ground floor of this building retains a notable shopfront. The raised lettering is well executed and the lettering to the windows indicates that this premises was a typical pub/shop establishment, now increasingly rare. The tall chimneystacks are a notable addition to the roofline of Bridge Street, and the carved stone eaves course is typical of the main streets of Gort.
