Appraisal
A middle-size range representing an important element of the architectural heritage of Kilkenny City having sustained some of the industrial network from the mid nineteenth-century while later operating as a bakery throughout the mid to late twentieth century. Despite having undergone a comprehensive renovation project in the course of adapting the site to accommodate an alternative use the essential composition attributes prevail as characterised by the regular distribution of the openings on each floor, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the site in the streetscape.
