Appraisal
This is one of a number of buildings in the area close to the River Suir whose ground floor is reached by a flight of steps. The paired doorways are unusual and the building is further distinguished by the cobweb fanlight and the civic plaques. Retention of timber sash windows enhances the architectural quality. The building forms part of a street which is notable for having a significant number of historic properties.
