Panelled and board doors. North elevation: 3 central bays projecting and 3 right hand bays recessed on ground and 1st floors, the 2nd floor in line across whole elevation indicating that it is of a later build. On ground floor, 7 round archways with ashlar imposts and keystones and containing a 12- pane sash or an entrance (bays 3, 7 and 13, the 2 former now with windows).

Similar, but plainer, stair at east end. HISTORY: built as one of 4 similar store/workshops to a courtyard plan as part of the dockyard modernisation programme. The central open area was used for timber storage. This block was the north-western one. The south- western and south-eastern blocks survive as No.24 and No.25 Stores' Jago Road (qqv); the north-eastern block, much damaged 1940s, as Building No. 1/149 (not included). Though altered, part of a planned group of interest as an attempt to rationalise dockyard workshop activities in a formal arrangement of self-contained buildings.
