Appraisal
The render surrounds and details add interest to the façade. The building retains an early and notable timber battened door with multiple pane glazing. The shopfront is of a type which is becoming increasingly rare in Ireland today and shows a fine execution and an artistic interest. The retention os the shopfront adds context to the building, although it is now no longer in use as shop.
