Appraisal
Brady's is an example of the traditional form of mixed residential and retail accommodation found throughout Ireland. The modest form of the building is enlivened by the stucco detailing. The vitrolite pubfront is an excellent example of mid-twentieth century design. Vitrolite is no longer produced in Ireland and intact shopfronts are increasingly rare.
