Appraisal
This building is a finely proportioned house and shop, located at the centre of Drogheda, and contributes positively to the area. The good quality early sliding sash windows with no horns are an indication of the long history of the building and the surviving late-nineteenth-century shopfront also contributes positively to the character of the building with its finely carved console bracket and its pair entrances.
