Appraisal
This striking building is particularly noticeable along O'Connell Street. Displaying apparent architectural detailing and design, its simple façade is enlivened by the subtle breakfront and the elegant steps and railings. The classical doorcase and window detailing further enrich this substantial structure, while adding to the built heritage of the historic town.
