Appraisal
Despite many alterations and interventions over a period of years, this remains a building of considerable interest. It was probably created by amalgamating two terraced two-bay private houses into one. The small second floor windows testify to the early construction of what was two buildings constructed as a pair. It represent a survivor of Sligo's earlier architectural development.
