What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay double-height rubble stone slaughter house, c.1870. Extensively renovated, c.1995, with openings remodelled to accommodate commercial use. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar and sections of repaired construction, c.1995, with cement mortar. Square-headed window openings inserted, c.1995, with concrete sills, shale ‘voussoirs’, and 2/2 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening remodelled, c.1995, with rendered surround having panelled fascia over with moulded cornice, and glazed timber panelled double doors. Road fronted with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.
An attractive and substantial building of traditional construction, which is of significance for its original intended use, attesting to the variety of industrial and/or commercial practises traditionally in operation in Waterford City. The rubble stone construction and solid wall mass adds visual appeal to the streetscape, while the remodelled and additional openings have been inserted in keeping with the historic character of the building.
