Appraisal
This well proportioned building located on Main Street in Dunmanway offers variety of form, style, texture and materials to the streetscape and shows evidence of fine stone crafting. While the building appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, covering the period from 1829-41, the windows and door would appear to be part of a later renovation scheme. The retention of the historic fabric contributes to the character of the building and streetscape.
