Appraisal
This simple but well-proportioned building is a good example of the kind of shop with dwelling over that characterised Irish townscapes until the middle of the twentieth century and which are now fast becoming much less common. It contributes to a distinctive grouping within the streetscape. The unusual carved pig's head capitals and overlight are interesting details.
