Appraisal
This modest building, incorporating a shopfront and an integral carriage arch, is typical of the traditional streetfront buildings of many small towns in Ireland. The good quality limestone used in its walls, and red brick in the dressings, as well as the varied forms of opening, make the building visually attractive.
