This building, originally four separate three-bay houses of vernacular form and appearance, has been much renovated and remodelled to accommodate a commercial use. The building is of some social and historic interest, representing the modest-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of Naas in the early nineteenth century. The building, which retains very little of its original features and materials, is primarily of importance for continuing the established streetline of Dublin Road, forming an attractive corner on to the lane leading to south-east (with a stepped roof profile), and for complementing the roofline of the adjacent house to north-east.
