Appraisal
This modest building is an integral part of the streetscape of Main Street. Much early fabric remains including the slate roof, timber sash windows and timber shopfront. The latter feature is particularly notable, its simple design being a fine example of a traditional retail premises and gives an insight into the work of traditional tradesmen and craftsmen in Irish towns.
