Later 19th century. Symmetrical former fish store of random rubble granite with long and short granite dressings; modern 2-leaf vertically-boarded timber doors in cement-rendered S gable, 8 slit ventilators (in 2 tiers of 4) to each side; rubble-infilled segmental-arched doorway in N (seaward) gable. Corrugated-iron roof.
Although the cement render and doors of the S gable are modern, this is a rare example of a large commercial skeo which is an essential element of the harbourside.
