A commercial building erected by J.J. Whelan (----) of Moongate House (see 15608004) representing an integral component of the twentieth-century built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; and the parapeted roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric including a streamlined shopfront of artistic interest: however, the introduction of replacement fittings to the openings has not had a beneficial impact on the external expression or integrity of a commercial building making a pleasing visual statement in Main Street North.
