| Description Detached concrete warehouse, built c.1930, having jelly mould or bunker-style appearance with roof and walls as single entity. Projecting flat-roofed concrete entrance porch to west elevation with square-headed door opening with double steel doors. Set back from road to the east of the main Locke's Distillery complex. Appraisal An unusual mid twentieth-century industrial structure, which may well be of a unique design. This building was constructed by the Dublin-based engineering firm of Delap and Waller. It curious design was apparently modeled on the arch construction of the Palace of Ctesiphon (at the ancient city of Ur in Iraq), which was studied in great detail by Waller during contract work in Syria in the early twentieth-century . This structure is an interesting part of the Locke's Distillery complex and is a curious addition to the architectural heritage of Westmeath. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
