Appraisal
Wrafter's public house is located in a prominent position on corner on Harbour Street, within Tullamore. Though altered over time, the building retains its proportion and form. Its large moulded quoins along with its varied render treatments create pleasing elevations which carry through a certain unity to both streets. The wrap around shopfront continues to unify the elevations and though elements of it have been repaired and replaced, it sill creates an aesthetic appeal and enlivens the structure as a whole.
