Appraisal
This large, imposing townhouse makes a strong impression on the streetscape in the centre of Borrisoleigh. Its form is emphasized by the many render details. The fine timber shopfront is a particularly notable feature of the building and adds artistic interest to the streetscape, and the retention of timber sash windows enhances the architectural heritage quality of the building.
