Appraisal
Bridge House is a landmark building on the road into the village of Cloone from the south. The early twentieth-century shopfront is simple in its design, embellished only by stucco consoles. The house retains many original features which contribute to its architectural interest including two-over-two timber sash windows. Bridge House is a good example of urban housing incorporating a shop.
