Appraisal
The tall form of this building makes it an unusual feature in Kilworth and is emphasised by the render quoins and end chimneystacks. The regular façade is enlivened by the render bracketed eaves course and the surrounds to the windows. The architectural form of the building is enhanced by the retention of early features and materials such as the timber sash windows and stone sills. The corrugated-iron return to the rear is an unusual feature and is enhanced by the coloured glass margined window. The shopfront adds context to the site and its well-crafted form adds artistic interest to the façade and to the streetscape.
