Why it mattered
shop/retail outlet — An tSráid Mhór matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This modestly scaled house is an interesting feature of the streetscape. Unusual render window surrounds with decorative interlacing to the keystones and a dentilated cornice to the eaves, greatly enhance the visual appeal of this building. Although with a modern shopfront, traces of the historic render shopfront survives and aids in maintaining the building's essential historic character. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
