Appraisal
Although individual attributes illustrated in late nineteenth-century archival imagery have been lost, including elegant Wyatt-style tripartite window openings, rendered accents identifying a muted Classical theme, and so on, a modest-scale house remains an important element of the streetscape in Market Square on account of the survival of a particularly fine traditional Irish shopfront of artistic design interest displaying expert carpentry or craftsmanship.
