Appraisal
This well composed building retains notable features, such as the decorative timber shopfront which retains its lettering. It also retains timber sash windows which adds further architectural interest. The house and shopfront present a coherent decorative scheme and as such make a positive contribution to the Kilfinnane streetscape.
