Appraisal
Forming a pair with 16003195, this property is an important feature in the streetscape. The continuous cornice and roofline and similar detailed shopfronts give it a pleasingly coherent form, notwithstanding the different uses and treatments. The shopfront has the carved scrolled foliate consoles which are typical features of Wicklow town. The retention of the timber sash windows is also to be noted.
