The walls are rendered and roofs are slated. Part of G/F is used as a bar, remainder is lighted by two display windows and one D/H (double hung) window with plain sashes. There are three street entrances, one recessed, with plain fanlights over. Four D/H windows on F/F have full G/B (glazing bars) and two others have sashes divided into two panes.” The 1973 photograph of Hilltown Market House (Historic Building Archive) shows this building. It shows a chimney on right gable, and a natural slate roof. It has a large square fixed window to G/F left, with a doorway (with transom) to its right. Over are two 3/6 sliding sashes. The right bay is only partially shown, with door to left and a 3/6 sash above. All windows have granite cills. Façade is painted with “Wines F. Kiernan Spirits”.
