Description

Detached seven-bay two-storey office building, built in 1961, with flat roof. Built as part of the briquette factory complex.

Appraisal

Built in 1961 by the German firm Buckau Wolf in a very modernist style as seen in the flat roof and longitudinal lines of the structure. Together with the unusual gate piers at the entrance, the former briquette factory represents Offaly's exapmples of modern architecture.
