Appraisal
A fine and unusual building, being one of the few buildings in Macroom to use brick, which is further distinguished by the mock Tudor style of its upper floor. Built as a pair with the adjoining building to the east, this non identical pair makes a noteworthy early twentieth century addition to the streetscape. It retains much of its historic fabric and detailing.
