Appraisal
A well-appointed substantial building forming an attractive component of the streetscape of Saint Kieran's Street identified by features including bipartite window openings recalling the so-called "Kilkenny Window", elegant decorative rendered accents, and so on all of which enhance the architectural design value of the composition. Having been reasonably well maintained the building presents an early aspect with substantial quantities of the historic fabric intact both to the exterior and to the interior: although slightly modified a symmetrically-planned pubfront of artistic importance displaying good traditional craftsmanship enlivens the visual appeal of the site at street level.
