Pitched artificial slate roof, with recent rendered chimneystack and moulded cut limestone eaves course. Exposed coursed squared limestone walls with dressed stone quoins and with some decorated stones in one jamb of carriage arch.

Camber-arch openings to basement with stone voussoirs.
Appraisal
Though under renovation, this building retains much of its original form. Its scale and size mark it as an important and notable feature on the streetscape. Its history of interesting uses makes it particularly notable in Nenagh.
