Appraisal
This is a handsome classical building set on the main street of Glin. An attractive feature of the building besides its elegant proportions is its fine detailing to the window and door surrounds, which add artistic significance to the building. The simple render shopfront is a good example of the modest type and adds further interest to façade.
