A well-composed building, purpose-built to accommodate a commercial space to ground floor with integral storage facilities and residential accommodation over, representing an early component of the commercialisation of Kilmacthomas. Reasonably well maintained, the building retains most of its original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials that enhance the historic quality of the composition. The building makes a strong visual statement in the street scene, and contributes to the diversity of Main Street.
