Description
Pair of terraced two-bay three-storey houses, built c.1820, with 1950s terrazzo shopfront to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Ruled-and-lined render over limestone to facade with stucco quoins. Timber sash windows with stucco surrounds. Houses front directly onto street.
Appraisal
The terrazzo shop front is unique on Main Street and is representative of technique used during the mid-twentieth century. The Georgian six-over-six timber sash windows with convex horns are becoming an increasingly rare feature in Ireland's towns. These enhance the façade and contribute to the architectural heritage of Mohill.
