Why it mattered
house — Mount Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Claremorris. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and allegedly to the interior, including a Classically-detailed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Mount Street at street level. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
