Statement of Interest

This building occupies a prominent corner site framing the entrance to the Longrow church, although it was originally part of a terrace before the church close was cleared away to open up the view to the Longrow Church. Its original character has been retained to some degree in the recent (1995) restoration, and is therefore an important part of the early 19th century fabric of the Longrow.
