Why it mattered
J. O'Sullivan — Main Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: An appealing, modest-scale house, which retains its original, asymmetrical form and massing. This together with much of the original fabric, enhances the character of the site. The house is distinguished by the tripartite shopfront with well executed render details, which is representative of late nineteenth-century shopfront design. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
