Appraisal
Occupying a substantial part of the east side of the street, this former industrial building is an interesting twentieth-century addition to this predominantly nineteenth-century streetscape. Of apparent architectural design, this building is representative of early twentieth-century industrial architecture in Ireland. The building is articulated by the breakfronts, segmental-arched openings, brickwork details, and limestone dressings.
