Appraisal
This building is attractive for its simplicity, with a relatively unadorned façade and plain yet well-executed timber shopfront. The shopfront design is of artistic interest and represents an important survival, as such examples have become an increasing rarity in the Irish townscape. The building conforms well to surrounding architectural typology and its balanced proportions make an important positive contribution to the streetscape.
