Appraisal
The modestly-designed shopfront with subtle detailing and decoration to pilasters and cornice is a pleasant contributor to the architectural heritage of Strokestown. The intact form and proportions of this house are what make it aesthetically pleasing. This nineteenth-century house expresses a design that is typical in Irish country towns.
