Appraisal
This small auxiliary building to Tullamore Railway Station was built to the highest design specifications. Though small in stature, it was erected with finely worked rock-faced limestone, which gives it its architectural significance. As part of the railway complex it is also a socially important structure, in the context of opening up the opportunity to travel.
