Appraisal
This corner-sited structure, located at the very centre of Strokestown, is a good example of a mixed commercial and residential building, so typical in Irish towns. It is enhanced by its stuccowork and multiple-paned fixed and sash windows which are echoed in the door details. This treatment of the exterior decoration as seen in the doors, windows and channelled render is unusual in the town with its planned Georgian terraces.
