What is recorded here
Detached square-plan hangar, c.1917. Brick corner piers with corrugated metal cladding to north and south elevations. Corrugated metal sliding doors to west and east elevations. Pitched corrugated metal roof. Eleven-bay single-storey brick office range to north elevation with lean-to corrugated metal roof. Single-storey roughcast rendered range to south elevation with lean-to corrugated metal roof.
One of a group of four hangars present at Baldonnell Aerodrome. The scale of such a structure is awe inspiring, dwarfing all other structures in the vicinity. Although modified over time to be maintained as an efficient part of a working airbase, it still retains its original size and character. A valuable, and rare, example of Irish military and aviation history. Probably retains much original fabric below cladding.
