O'Connor

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c.1880, with shopfront to ground floor, formerly incorporating single-bay two-storey house to south. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with rendered quoins. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Round-headed door opening with stucco surround, fanlight and timber panelled door. Timber shopfront with rendered stallriser, display window, recessed square-headed door opening with replacement door, overlight and raised lettering to fascia board.

Though modest in design, the unembellished shopfront contributes positively to Birr's streetscape. The timber shopfront, doorway and timber sash windows enhance the architectural significance of this small building, enabling it to retain its traditional character.
