This appealing is sited at the central cross-streets of Kildorrery. The ground floor fenestration with its fine render details around the doors, windows and shopfronts is of considerable design merit, while the render dressings to the upper floors enhance the artistic quality of the composition. This prominent building makes a strong contribution to the townscape of Kildorrery.
