Appraisal
This building holds prime position in the town of Edenderry, located at the junction of JKL Street and O'Connell Square. Once solely a residence, this building was later transformed to incorporate a pleasant timber shopfront, now the local health food store. Particular architectural details such as the tooled stone doorcase and timber sash windows add character both to this structure and indeed the overall streetscape.
