Appraisal
A finely crafted building retaining its original character and form. The brick detailing, most notably in the eaves course arrangement and window surrounds, is particularly noteworthy. A carved plaque laid along the sill course associates the building with its original proprietor Diarmuid Ó Cruadhlaoich. The use of exposed skilfully crafted and arranged red brick for a façade is relatively unusual in the town and it adds variety to the building, while also greatly enlivening the streetscape.
