Appraisal
This building, originally built as office accommodation for Cassidy’s Distillery, is of some social and historical significance, representing the expansion of the industrialisation of Monasterevin in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. Now disused, the building is in poor repair but retains most of its original form and fabric, including important fittings such as horizontal sliding sash windows that are a rare feature in the town.
