What is recorded here

Terraced four-bay three-storey house, built c.1800, with shopfronts and integral carriage arch to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings to upper floors with painted stone sills and replacement timber windows. Round-headed doorway to house with cut limestone Gibbsian surround, spoked fanlight, limestone threshold and timber panelled door. Square-headed disused shopfront to east end, with moulded render cornice, lacking other details, and having square-headed opening with replacment timber display window and shop door. Altered shopfront to west end. Segmental carriage arch leads to lane.

The broad street frontage with somewhat asymmetrical fenestration, is enhanced by the presence of an integral archway giving access to a laneway. The Gibbsian door surround enlivens the façade and groups the building with others around the old market square, as well as indicating the dual commercial and residential functions of urban structures. Gort's traditional position as a market town for the area is evident in the number of prosperous merchants' houses in and around Market Square and Main Street.
