Appraisal
This well kept former house and shop which is an excellent example of the mixed used building type which was once a feature of Irish towns. An integral part of a terrace, this terrace was once both home and workplace for the owners of these fine buildings. The fine shopfront is a particularly striking and attractive addition to the streetscape.
