John Shaw, house in County Meath

What is recorded here

John Shaw in Summerhill has a pub front with pillars and double doors, while the stone outbuildings behind make do with corrugated iron. Go round the back and it's like catching the lord of the manor flattening biscuit tins to mend his shed.

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1860, now also in use as public house. Hipped slate roof with central rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls with render quoins. Render shopfront with pilasters flanking openings supporting fascia. Timber panelled double doors. Render dressings over openings. Stone outbuildings with pitched corrugated-iron roofs to rear.

This house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape in Summerhill. The modest form of the house is enhanced by the render shopfront, which is an interesting addition. The related outbuildings to the rear contribute to the setting of the house.
