Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining house, this pair forms part of a well designed terrace. The mansard roof, unusual in Ireland, is a characteristic feature of the imposing mid nineteenth century terraces in Cobh. The render detail articulates the façade. The fine shopfront adds artistic interest and is an example of the high quality design and skill employed by craftsmen in the nineteenth century.
