Appraisal
This farm building was built outside the walls of Saint Conleth's Reformatory and was the main structure in the farmyard complex. The reformatory was self-sufficient, provided for by the farm. This structure is now incorporated into a joinery factory and retains its fine, snecked stonework and quatrefoil opening which is a Gothic motif.
