Appraisal
These buildings, although disused are reminders of the town's former heritage of smaller buildings. The retention of window frames enhances what are two simple and plain buildings. The buildings form a visual unit with the warehouse opposite and form a pleasing contrast with the smooth rendered facades found further along Doneraile Road. The asymmetrical fenestration layout is also characteristic of vernacular style buildings in Ireland.
