Appraisal
An appealing modest-scale building, the rubble stone construction of which produces an attractive textured effect in the streetscape. Well maintained, the building retains most of its original form and fabric. The building is of particular significance as evidence of an early industrial centre in Cappoquin. The building forms a neat group with an associated warehouse of similar appearance but larger scale immediately to north (22810019/WD-21-10-19), and conforms to the topography of the sloping site through the use of a stepped roofline.
