Appraisal
This warehouse is an attractive substantial building, the rubble stone construction of which produces an attractive textured effect in the streetscape. Although no longer in use, the building is in reasonable condition, retaining most of its original form and fabric. It is of particular significance as evidence of an early industrial centre in Kilmallock.
