Appraisal
Originally part of four terraced houses with ground floor shopfronts, this building and its neighbour to the north retain much of their original design and character. The changing arrangements of streetfront facades reflects the dynamic but often short term duration of businesses in many provincial towns like Clones. The timber shopfront is a rare survival in the town and is complete with its canopy.
