A commercial building representing an integral component of the mid twentieth-century built heritage of Ballina with the architectural value of the composition, one refronting an eighteenth-century townhouse marked on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey (surveyed 1838; published 1839), suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the tripartite glazing patterns; and the balustraded roofline.
