The part of the building behind no.2 Longacre Street is of two storeys with a part timber construction upper storey. The upper storey includes loading doors and large windows. No.2 Longacre Street appears to be part of the same building. It's probable that the building is a combined office and workshop for the timber yard, with attached accommodation. The timber yard probably post dates 1840 (see 4).
