Appraisal
Built in the early nineteenth century, this former warehouse is an interesting reminder of the industrial character which was once associated with this part of the city. The materials utilised in the construction of this building are typical of Cork city and county, and the red sandstone, grey limestone and red brick add colour and textural interest to the streetscape.
