Appraisal
This modestly scaled terraced house forms an integral part of an historic terrace of houses, many of which were also used as shops. The building retains much of its historic form and character through the retention of key features including sash windows. Its simple timber shopfront, with its decorative cornice is of a kind that are becoming increasingly rare throughout Irish towns.
