Appraisal
A notable building on the street as one approaches the centre of Gort from the south. The façade is enhanced by the retention of timber sliding sash windows and by the simple and well maintained shopfront. The scale of this building is larger than other house and shop combinations within the town, and may have been originally two houses.
