Appraisal
This outbuilding is of some social, historic and cultural significance for its subsequent use as a cinema. The construction of the building in rubble stone is representative of the traditional method of building in the mid nineteenth century. The outbuilding, which is now apparently disused, is an attractive feature on the laneway.
