Appraisal
This building provides an unusual and notable feature in Mallow, due to its canted windows to two storeys. The façade is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows and by the restrained ornamentation to the upper floors. The shopfront to the ground floor is well crafted and adds artistic interest, while the integral carriage arch offers context to the site.
