Appraisal
This building on High Street still retains mid nineteenth-century style timber sash windows, as well as a tooled stone door surround and timber fanlight. Maintained in good condition, with a replacement roof, this structure is architecturally significant and adds positively to the architectural heritage of Tullamore.
