Read the whole record

Detached four-bay two-storey warehouse with attic storey, built c.1880, having single-bay single-storey addition to west gable, and two-bay single-storey outbuilding attached to east end of rear (south) elevation. Single-storey to rear elevation. Now in use as outbuilding. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods, clay ridge tiles and with roof-lights to rear. Pitched corrugated-iron roof to extension to west gable, barrel-shaped corrugated-iron roof to extension to rear. Rubble stone walls. Timber-framed metal nameplate over door to front elevation reading 'Drogheda...' Break to front indicating two phase construction. Square-headed window openings to front having red brick surrounds and timber casement windows, six-over-six pane timber sliding sash window to ground floor. Elliptical carriage arches with single-leaf timber battened sliding doors with cast-iron wheels to front elevation. Square-headed door openings to rear with timber battened door, one having red brick surround and double-leaf door.

Prominently sited at a central junction in Shantonagh, this simply-constructed building served as a coal store and warehouse for the adjacent shop and was thus an important focal point for the social and economic life of the locality. Its timber sliding doors are characteristic of store buildings, and the nameplate to the front provides contextual and decorative interest.
