Appraisal
This former railway building has retained some architectural features. Its plain exterior is embellished by decorative brickwork to the gable ends. The use of stone mirrors the more substantial former railway structures on the site. Having formerly served as a goods shed, this building is part of the social history of Ballinamore.
