No. 57/58 O'Connell St, located at the junction of O'Connell St. and Mary's Street. Two-storey building rendered with plaster. Two-light sandstone window (dims. 1.4m x 0.85m) with hood-moulding at first-floor level in N wall (rear wall of building) (Holland 1994, 176). Central mullion missing. The window reveal is 0.22m deep and there are two glazing-bar holes on the soffit. On NE angle of E gable there is a fragment of a cornice which formerly ran horizontally around the gable. Beneath it there is a corbel projecting out of the wall suggesting that there was an adjoining structure on this side. W half of building was accessed internally, it has been modernised with several partition walls inserted. Surviving early features suggest a 16th/early 17th-century date for this building. Since this building was inspected in 1993 an extension has been built onto the rear elevation incorporating the late 16th-17th-century window and obscuring it from external view.
