Appraisal
This modest building, along with much of the surrounding area, was rebuilt following the 1916 Rising. It is largely in keeping with the character of the street as a whole, maintaining the parapet height and fabric of the adjacent buildings to the south. The red brick façade is articulated by a moulded granite cornice and coping, while the shopfront, although it has been significantly altered, adds both context and decorative interest to the building.
