Appraisal
This fine, early-twentieth century, red brick building, close to the corner of one of Drogheda's main streets, was built along with its neighbour to the south to form a prominent feature on the streetscape. The pedimented breakfront and elegant entrance door with delicate fanlight are interesting features.
