Appraisal
This house on Cormac Street contributes positively to the built heritage of the town of Tullamore. The main feature is the doorway, which is one of a pair, mirroring that of the neighbouring house. Enlivened by a tooled stone surround and a timber spoked fanlight, the entrance enhances the façade, making a positive architectural statement within the streetscape.
