Rounded-headed door openings with replacement timber doors and concrete steps.
Appraisal
Now serving a duel function as creamery and co-op this building has served the rural community of the Ballingarry hinterland since 1886. The pedimented breakfront is a notable feature breaking the otherwise plain façade of this structure. The inclusion of this feature in the design is unusual for a functional building.
