Appraisal
This striking building makes a positive impact on the main thoroughfare, JKL Street, in Edenderry. Its importance as a bank is carried through in the ornate detailing of the acanthus leaves to the scroll in the console brackets and the decorative stucco surround to the windows. The carriage arch with its stone wheel guardsare interesting features of street furniture.
