Appraisal
This corner sited house, forms part of a triangular terraced arrangement of structures within Church Square. The shopfront is particularly accentuated by a glazed curving frieze which is unusual for the streetscape where it is sited. It occupies a commanding focal position within the streetscape and its curving front elevation profile, coupled with its curving hipped roof serve to set this structure apart within central Monaghan town.
