Appraisal
This modest house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Gaillimh [west County Galway]. It is an attractive feature of the landscape and the retention of timber sash windows, a traditional battened timber door and a well maintained thatched roof all contribute to the building's architectural heritage value.
