Description
Attached three-bay seven-storey former corn warehouse, built c. 1800, with a central hoist opening rising the full-height of the elevation above ground floor level. Single-pitched replacement roof, c. 1960 resulting in the cropping of the front elevation at eaves level. No rainwater goods. Random rubble limestone walls with red brick eaves course, and squared quoins to the corners. Central camber-arched brick-framed loophole, blocked up at sixth floor level, and having tongued and grooved timber-panelled doors to third forth and fifth floor level, modern windows to first and second floor level. Segmental-arched window openings throughout with red brick arches and reveals and timber casement windows.
Appraisal
A substantial stone corn store that remains relatively intact despite the loss of the original roof structure. It stands, along with other surviving industrial buildings in the area, as testimony to Limerick's industrious past.
