What is recorded here

Terraced five-bay two-storey house with half-dormer attic, extant 1838, originally five-bay two-storey thatched on a symmetrical plan. Renovated with replacement shopfront inserted to ground floor. Replacement pitched artificial slate roof with pressed ridge, cement rendered chimney stack having concrete capping supporting terracotta or yellow terracotta pots, rooflight to front (west) pitch, and uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Rendered battered walls. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with concrete or rendered sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Interior including (upper floors): timber panelled shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Ballinrobe with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition confirmed by such attributes as the rectilinear plan form; the very feint battered silhouette; the compressed grouping of the openings on each floor; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish as illustrated in photography (1880) by Thomas J. Wynne (1838-93) of Castlebar.
