Appraisal
This simple late nineteenth century building retains its early form, character and the majority of its salient fabric. Its symmetry and the architraved surrounds to the openings help create a pleasing composition. It represents a good example of its type and date and it illustrates the expansion to Longford Town to the south during the second half of the nineteenth century. Its sympathetic maintenance allows for its continued contribution to the architectural variety of the streetscape to the south of Longford Town centre.
