Appraisal
This building's corniced parapet makes it an eye-catching element within the streetscape. The timber sliding sash windows and render surrounds contribute to its character. The building form, with commercial premises to ground floor and separate entrance to residential storeys above, is a typical feature of the traditional Irish townscape.
