Building and heritage

The subtle window placement on this building gives a pleasing rhythm to the façade, enlivened by brick string courses and cornice. The brightly coloured brick contrasts pleasingly with the handmade bricks of the older building to the south. Although it has lost its original windows, the building retains its original form, and the pubfront indicates its commercial character. Stoneybatter was one of the principle routes to Smithfield Market in the nineteenth century, and in 1862 this was one of several grocers, spirit dealers and provision dealers on the street.
