Built in the early twentieth century, this house is a notable example of the tradition of combined dwelling and shop, complete with a finely crafted tripartite shopfront. The various fenestration types and brick dressings distinguish the structure in the streetscape, and overall makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of Foynes.
