Appraisal
This house and former shop is typical of late nineteenth-century urban architecture. It retains timber sash windows and ornate shopfront, which frames the large glazed window with ornate render pilasters and heavy cornice. Shopfronts such as this are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland and make a valuable contribution to the streetscape.
