Appraisal
This purpose-built house and retail outlet is an interesting reminder of the provisions which were made for living over the shop during the nineteenth century. The simple, though well-executed shopfront is a notable feature of the building and it is unusually unaltered. The retention of the timber sliding sash windows, slate roof and marble plaque contribute to the significance of the building. Plaque erected by members of E Coy. 2nd Batt. Cork No. 1 Brigade IRA.
