A handsome and substantial terraced building which retains its early form and character. This house represents a good example of the many middle-sized dwellings built by the prosperous merchant class of Kilbeggan during the late eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. The later tiled mosaic shopfront is an interesting example of its type and is of artistic merit. It is one of a number of similar tiled shopfronts in Kilbeggan, suggesting that these were the work of a local firm or craftsman. This substantial structure remains and important feature of the historic streetscape.
