Appraisal
M. A. Nolan's is part of a terrace of similar structures yet it is distinguished as a building, which has retained its character and form over the years. Though no longer used as a shop the shopfront remains virtually intact and, as a result, enlivens the modest façade. It plays a positive role in the architectural heritage of Foynes.
