A prominent house retaining its original and form and exhibiting a finely crafted shopfront to the ground floor. The survival of raised timber lettering is interesting, and the practice of associating a family name with its commercial premises is a feature which is becoming increasingly rare in contemporary townscapes.

Can you visit O'Donovan?

When was O'Donovan built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1860–1880.
Is O'Donovan protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
