This location was the draper's shop of John Kickham (died 1861).
However the old Kickham building may be gone.
See entry
for the house
in NIAH.
This says the current building dates from 1902.
This building became a small Kickham museum in 1982.
The museum is now closed.
"Teallach Kickham" is written on it, which basically means "Kickham's house" (or "hearth").
It was sold in

Described at sale as
"a former public house together with residential accommodation overhead."
"Internally, the property comprises a ground floor public house together with 5x bedroom residential accommodation overhead."
