Stewart's Wine Barrel, 1 Monaghan Street, Newry, Co Down, BT35 6BB

Stewart's Wine Barrel is a two-storey, two-bay polychromatic brick building set in terrace on the north side of Monaghan Street in Newry. It is recorded only in the heritage register.

The building has a gabled asbestos-tiled roof with a red brick chimney to each gable. The chimneys are stepped and banded with courses of yellow and black brick, coped with concrete. Ogee cast-iron rainwater goods are mounted over yellow-brick brackets, with a downpipe at right; asbestos gutters run along the rear.

The ground floor façade has been cement rendered and painted over a projecting rendered base course. The first floor is of red brick above a protruding granite string course, which also forms the cills to the windows. The façade is embellished with two bands of yellow brick—one at meeting rail level halfway up the window jambs, and the other at window head level. Both bands are three bricks high and decorated with crosses formed in black and red brick. The eaves brackets are underlined by a course of black brick.

On the left of the façade is a semicircular-headed doorway with pole-moulded reveal, containing a modern nine-panelled timber door topped with a semicircular transom infilled with timber boarding. To its right is a pair of 2/2 sliding sash windows in pole-moulded reveals. The windows have semicircular heads that share a Corinthian-headed demicolonette resting on their common painted granite cill. A cast-iron grille with quatrefoil motifs, affixed to the cill, protects the bottom sash. Just right of centre is a second, wider entrance with an identical surround, containing a modern aluminium door with glazed semicircular transom and a side light at right. A modern boxed roller shutter has been affixed in front. To the right of this door is a large shop window comprising four fixed painted timber windows with four transoms over, set in a roll-moulded chamfered reveal above a painted moulded granite cill. The wall below this opening has two recessed rectangular panels, with a boxed metal roller shutter over. A modern plastic shop sign reading "Stewarts Wine Barrel" runs the length of the façade below the string course.

Four shallow painted timber pilasters run across the ground floor, each with a recessed vertical panel—one at each end of the building and one on either side of the main entrance to the shop. The outstepping of their stone base courses indicates these features are original, not later additions.

The first floor is lit by four equally spaced 1/1 sliding sash windows. The upper band of yellow brick is punctuated with three sets of black bricks where it crosses each segmental window head. A metal beam projects from just below eaves level at the middle of the façade; a sign formerly hung from it, the swinging action of which has gouged a groove in the wall below.

The right gable is abutted by a building of relatively recent construction. The left gable is cement rendered and has a window at first floor on the left, now infilled with concrete blocks. The rear façade is cement rendered throughout and is abutted at right by a lower two-storey return. On the ground floor at left is an infilled window, with another infilled window at first floor level in line with it. The return has a pitched asbestos-slate roof and a cement-rendered chimney over its end gable. A modern single-storey flat-roof extension abuts this gable. The left cheek of the first floor rear return has an infilled window. The rear face at right has a modern metal-sheeted door. The gable extension has a metal-sheeted door facing the rear yard. The extension in the angle has a door and window on its end elevation and two modern windows on its left cheek. The right cheek also has an infilled door and window.
