Painted rendered walls, render corbelled eaves course and metal plaque.

Carved timber shopfront comprising pilasters supporting fascia board with scroll brackets and pediment capping. Square-headed opening with timber fixed pane display window.

Square-headed door opening to north end of shopfront, giving access to upper floors, having timber glazed door and margined overlight.

This building has a pleasing composition that is distinguished by a finely crafted shopfront. It is one of a pair, which together make a positive contribution to the architectural heritage and streetscape of Bantry. The retention of the sliding sash windows and corbelled eaves detailing further enlivens the façade.
