Replacement pitched artificial slate roof centred on gablet to window opening to dormer attic with ridge tiles terminating in rendered chimney stack having stringcourse below moss-covered capping supporting terracotta or yellow terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered cut-limestone eaves. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Timber shopfront to ground floor.

Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Castlebar. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street at street level.
