This fine building, situated on the busy commercial West Street, has maintained its proportion and form. The highlight of the façade is its original pilasters and brackets to the shopfront. The brackets exhibit extremely fine carved detailing, features which are becoming a rarity in Irish towns. Early fenestration has also been retained ensuring this building's place in the architectural heritage of Drogheda.
