Appraisal
Prominently located on the main road through Kinvara, this substantial building retains much of its form and fabric, including its timber sliding sash windows. The shopfront to the ground floor adds context to the structure and is also evidence of the simple elegance in local craftsmanship, both in its timber construction and ceramic lettering, adding decorative interest.
