Appraisal
This building, sited at an important crossroads in Cahir, displays the hood-mouldings so characteristic of the town. The double windows to the top floor, the chamfered surrounds to the front windows and the retention of the enamel street plaque, all contribute to its significance. Despite alterations to the ground floor, the building makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
