Appraisal
This building, which is now disused, is a fine long rubble stone range that is one of the best maintained structures in the Cassidy’s Distillery complex. The building is of social and historical interest, representing the continued industrialisation of Monasterevin in the mid nineteenth century. The building retains most of its original form and fabric, with important early salient features in situ including timber lintels to the openings.
