Appraisal
A storehouse representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century built heritage of County Wexford. Having been reasonably well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a lifeboat house forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside an adjacent lifeboat house (see 15701733) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
