Appraisal
The relatively wide proportions of this building contribute significantly to the varied quality of the streetscape. It is of interest for the amount and quality of original or early detail it retains. A particularly fine timber panelled door, for example, forms an interesting counterpoint to that on the neighbouring building. It is a good example of the split residential/commerical purpose building which has historically been a distinctive feature of Irish towns. The disposition of the second floor windows is unusual.
