Appraisal
This eye-catching building occupies a slightly elevated position in Drimoleague’s main street. It makes a positive contribution to the streetscape through its retention of original features. The parapet's artistic detailing particularly noteworthy, while the upper floor window fittings add to its character. These features ensure the building has a continued sense of individuality and architectural distinctiveness.
