Appraisal
This house retains a fine example of a nineteenth-century timber tripartite shopfront. Its simple design contains carved embellishments such as those to the pilasters and spandrels, which add to its modest charm. This structure has been, and continues to be, an integral feature within the streetscape of Main Street and a positive addition to the architectural heritage of Glin.
