Irish Distillers

Detached multiple-pile multiple-bay single-storey former cooperage, built c. 1880, now in use as warehouse. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron vents and rooflights. Brown brick walls with buttresses having limestone copings, red brick dressings to openings, red brick string courses and some limestone sills. Various fittings to openings, included louvred panels and metal casement windows, some with cast-iron grills.

Built as part of a group with the related distillery structures to the west, this cooperage is an interesting contributor to the architectural heritage of the city. The North Mall Distillery which was founded in 1779, was later renamed Cork Distilleries and remains partly in use as a distillery related complex. The site retains buildings from the late eighteenth century to present day, and is notable for the diversity of architectural styles and materials utilised in their construction.
