Built as part of the Eglinton Asylum, later known as Our Lady's Hospital, this outbuilding forms part of a significant group of related structures. The materials utilised in its construction, including sandstone, limestone and brick add colour and textural interest to the site. This large complex played a significant social role in both city and county in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
