Why it mattered
James Mullany — Main Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: These terraced houses make a notable contribution to the streetscape, with their symmetrical form and decorative stuccowork that enlivens the façade. In addition, the vitrolite shopfronts are of technical interest. A once common sight, this type of shopfront is becoming increasingly rare in Irish towns, as vitrolite is no longer manufactured in Ireland. The vitrolite with chrome trim and the plastic lettering to the fascia are all intact and contribute to the architectural and technical significance of the building. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
