Appraisal
Prominently sited in the village of Glenbrohane, this building is a notable example of a dual use house and public house in rural Ireland. The sash windows have medium scrolled horns, typical of late nineteenth-century fittings. With decoratively coursed brick chimneystacks and simple, yet attractive shopfront, the building forms a notable feature in the area.
