Haulbowline Island has been in military use since 1609 and the array of structures on the island contribute much to Ireland's maritime heritage and naval history. Red brick construction and gabled form adds textural and chromatic interest to site. Unusual raised central section forms notable appearance. Retains notable features such as timber sash windows and red brick eaves course.
