Built by T. F. McNamara for Malachy Scally between 1911-14, this building displays an elaborate façade, which though it has lost some original fabric, continues to hold a prominent position within the streetscape. The well executed stone dressings add artistic interest, particularly the urns and capitals. Its height, completed by the pediment and balustrade, makes it an imposing structure along Tullamore's busiest thoroughfare.
