Terraced three-bay three-story commercial building, built c.1890, having a central canted oriel window at first floor level. Now having two separate shop units to the ground floor. Roof hidden behind raised parapet having a moulded cornice and with coping over. Rendered chimneystacks. Cement rendered façade with raised quoins to the corners and with a moulded cornice at first floor level. Square-headed openings to the first and second floors having moulded architraves with keystone detailing to the first floor openings (flanking central oriel) and replacement windows. Square-headed window and door openings to shopfronts having recessed doors/entrances. Shopfront comprises a pair of fluted timber pilasters to either end with brackets over supporting timber fascia board. Road-fronted to the north side of Pearse Street.
A large-scale commercial building, of late nineteenth-century character, which has a strong presence in the streetscape. It retains some interesting details, including the canted oriel window and the moulded cornices. The gap in the cornice above the oriel window indicates that it formerly had a hipped roof over. This building dominates the buildings to either side and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape in the centre of Mullingar.
