Pitched slate roof not visible from street, with smooth-rendered chimneystacks, and replacement rainwater goods. Smooth-rendered ruled-and-lined walls with block-and-start quoins to upper floors. Plaque to front wall inscribed 'Charles Gavan Duffy was born here 12th April 1816'. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows and painted sills. Shopfront has timber fasciaboard with console brackets, timber-framed display window and glazed door. Carriage-arch has depressed-arch opening and recent metal gate.
This modest building has the typical characteristics of buildings in Irish provincial towns, such as the shopfront and the archway allowing access to a yard to the rear. The building is notable for being the birthplace of the Irish nationalist and Australian politician Charles Gavan Duffy.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
