What is recorded here
Store or warehouse in Callan South became housing and later gained shops, while keeping its carriage entrance. Most people bringing the shopping home worry about leaving the milk behind. This place makes you feel you’ve forgotten the horse.
Attached three-bay three-storey warehouse, c.1825, with square-headed carriageway to right ground floor. Renovated, c.1925, to accommodate residential use. Renovated, c.1950, with some openings to ground floor remodelled to accommodate commercial use. Now disused to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls with fascia to top floor having moulded rendered surround. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and replacement two-over-two timber sash windows, c.1925. Square-headed window openings to ground floor remodelled, c.1950, with fixed-pane timber window, and timber boarded panel fittings. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Square-headed carriageway to right ground floor with timber boarded double doors having wicket gate. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
A substantial range adapted in the early twentieth century from an early nineteenth-century warehouse and therefore of special interest as evidence of the industrial legacy of Callan. Subsequently well maintained to present an early aspect with substantial quantities of the historic fabric surviving intact the building makes a positive impression on the character of West Street.
