An important reminder of the industrial practises in Dungarvan that historically supported the economy of the locality. However, much of the original form and character of the structure has been eroded by unsympathetic and over-zealous renovation works entailed in the conversion to the present use. Nevertheless, the warehouse makes a strong statement in the street scene.
