Appraisal
Typical of many Irish town houses, this building would have once served both commercial and residential purposes. Similar to many buildings within this terrace, its historic character remains, through the retention of historic features such as tooled limestone sills and sash windows. The shopfront is notable for its charming, traditional simplicity.
