Description :	"David Roberts, Sr., who had designed and overseen the construction of the Stone Distillery, immediately started drawing up plans for the next major expansion of the distillery, which included a Malt House (Building 35) and an associated Kiln Building (Building 36) on the west side of Trinity Street, just south of Mill Street. Together, these buildings would act as a factory to create malt from barley. Goad’s 1880 plan provides details about the relationship of the two buildings. The extensive Malt House (Building 35) occupied most of the site and contained “malt floors” above a series of five fire proof vaults for storing alcohol. (Goad shows two malting floors, but other sources clearly indicate that there were three.) The Kiln Building contained two three-storey kilns capped by ventilator cupolas located directly above basement furnaces that were separated from the alcohol-storage vaults by a solid wall. The buildings were linked by doors on the second floor." [Source: http://www.distilleryheritage.com/, Building Histories]
