The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
Niall McAuley said:
As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.

This appears to the be the Burgess Model I flying boat (not to be confused with the Burgess Model I Scout) built for Robert J. Collier. Famed aviator Frank Coffyn tested the aircraft for Collier at Marblehead, Massachusetts (dating the photo to July/August 1913). The engine is a 220 horsepower Anzani 20 radial engine, an immensely powerful engine for the era featuring two 10-cylinder rows. In fact, this particular engine (visible just behind Coffyn) may be the very first of its type built and sold by Italian motor manufacturer Anzani. www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1913/1913%20-%200722...
