Appraisal
The façade of Tierney's maintains nineteenth-century renovations through the survival of horned sash windows and the window and door surrounds. The steeply pitched roof is a unique feature and suggests that the structure dates from the early to mid eighteenth century. It is thus an imporant survival within the reamining architectural fabric of Shinrone.
