This hospital extension is representative of architectural design and construction in the mid twentieth century in Ireland. The roughcast render and red brick are typical of the construction materials which were utilised at that time. The building retains much of it's original form and features, such as defined entrance, moulded doorcase and timber sliding sash windows.
