Condition
Designed by PWD Architect H Beasley and built in 1904-1905, this two storey Donnybrook stone and tile roofed building was renovated in 1979 for use as an administration wing of the Art Gallery. It now contained Offices, Laboratories, Educational Facilities, Theatrette and Boardrooms. Substantial internal alterations to allow for the special requirements have been carefully carried out, but the external appearance of the building remains unchanged.
