Appraisal
This prominently-sited building retains much of its early form, character and fabric, despite alterations to the shopfront. Its façade is enlivened by the render detailing, consoles and by the render shopfront. This render shopfront is typical of its type and date and adds artistic merit. The render panel above the shopfront is an interesting feature and may have originally been used for advertising panels. This building is an addition to the built heritage of Edgeworthstown, adding attractive incident along the main approach road into Edgeworthstown from the west
