Description

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830, with shopfront to ground floor. Steeply pitched artificial slate roof with rooflight, cut stone eaves course and a shared rendered chimneystack to south end. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with moulded render surrounds/architraves and keystones, painted sills, and simple wrought-iron sill guards. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Late-twentieth century timber shopfront with fixed timber frame windows and glazed timber door. Road-fronted to the east side of Main Street, Longford Town.

Appraisal

A modest early-to-mid nineteenth-century house, which retains its early form and much of its early character despite extensive alterations to the ground floor. Its steeply pitched roof may indicate earlier fabric. The attractive treatment of the window openings is typical of many other structures on the Main Street, Longford Town. Its modest scale adds to the streetscape.
