This warehouse is a fine and imposing rubble stone structure of social and historical significance, representing the continued industrialisation of Monasterevin in the mid nineteenth century. The building has been renovated in the late twentieth century, yet retains most of its original form while replacement materials have been inserted in keeping with the original integrity of the design. The construction in rubble stone with yellow brick dressings is a feature shared with other industrial buildings in the locality and attests to a traditional building method of the period.
