Appraisal
The broad street frontage and prominent position in The Square make this a significant contribution to the architectural heritage of Fethard. The façade is enhanced by the retention of fabric such as the roof slates and timber sash windows which give it a patina of age. The shopfront is notable for its large scale clearly defined forms, which suits the simple fenestration, straight roof line and massive chimneystack.
