Appraisal
This former bank building is of architectural interest due to its decorative stucco detailing. The lugged-and-kneed window surrounds add character to an otherwise modest building. The yellow brick chimneystacks are unique on this street and are yet another decorative detail to this house. Now used as a house, this structure contributes to the streetscape and built heritage of Ballinamore.
