Camber-arched opening to east, now with painted timber panelled stall riser, square-headed bipartite fixed frame window and fascia, remains of timber architrave; square-headed openings to south elevation, painted timber doors.

Appraisal
This former warehouse is an interesting survivor within the town. Together with the neighbouring warehouse to its east, it forms part of Carlingford's industrial heritage, and is one of few such structures that survive within the town. Though altered, the building retains its fine stone façade, an eye-catching feature on the predominantly rendered Dundalk Street.
