Appraisal
Despite extensive renovation works that have led to the erosion of much of the historic patina of the composition a modest-scale range exhibiting a traditional construction in mud retains much of the fabric of an early twentieth-century commercial interior, thereby contributing significantly to the position of the site as an integral component of the architectural heritage of Mullinavat.
