End-of-terrace multiple-bay two-storey former bus station, built c.1930 in Modern Movement style. Two concrete canopies to front elevation, one with decorative steel balcony above. Rear wall formerly part of older building. Now in use as arts centre. Single-storey extension to rear. Flat roof with overhanging concrete eave and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed openings and central glazed section with timber fixed and casement windows. Square-headed door openings with timber panelled and half-glazed double with paned glazed timber surrounds. Pointed-arch opening to rear, with limestone sill and plate glass window. Corrugated-asbestos ceiling and steel columns to interior.
This building is a rare example of Modern Movement architecture in County Tipperary. It incorporates Modernist elements, such as the concrete canopies and steel balcony, as well as the abundant use of glass and the flat façade. Its use as an arts centre is quite fitting for such an architecturally significant building.
