Appraisal
This modest end-of-terrace house retains many of its original features, the most interesting of which is the timber shopfront. The building has stayed in the Gallagher family since the year it was built by Michael Gallagher. The shop originally functioned as a butchers. The surviving butcher hooks compliment the shopfront which provides a positive contribution to the streetscape. The attractive vernacular outbuilding to rear site is an interesting part of the architectural heritage of the town.
