Appraisal
Group of buildings forming important part of west section of Haulbowline Island. Of similar construction and detailing to each other and to other stores and workshops on east side of island. Variety of materials used in construction adds interest to façade. Though altered, retain much of their original form, including well executed stone and brick work. Bollard to north-west is an interesting feature and adds context to the site.
