Appraisal
A late Georgian warehouse, built as a storage facility for the associated building fronting Parnell Street (50010982/50060397). It is a rare surviving example of a late eighteenth early nineteenth-century warehouse in the city. In conjunction with the associated buildings to the immediate south, it makes an important contribution to the diversity of architectural heritage in this district. With conversion to residential use there have been alterations and some loss of original fabric, but the overall form, proportions and rhythm of openings has largely been retained.
