Appraisal
This building forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the west side of South Main Street and with the terrace on the east side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. The early twentieth-century shopfront is a particularly interesting feature, as it adds artistic interest to the building, and it is a reminder of the quality and craftsmanship that was employed in the execution of shopfront in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland.
