Matching symmetrical front and rear elevations have end sections set forward, with plinth, banded ground floor to a plat band, flat cornice and parapet, segmental-arched ground floor windows and flat-headed first-floor windows with plain surrounds, with small-paned metal-framed windows with tilting casements, the N end has 616-pane first-floor sashes; SE elevation has banded surrounds to ground- and first-floor loading bays with double boarded doors 3 bays from the ends of the central section. Similar 3-window returns, the NW end has the middle bay set forward with banded pilasters strips and a segmental-arched doorway with double 6-panel door, the SE end has ground- and first-floor loading doors. Stacks 2 bays from the ends, NW fireplace stack wide with a cornice, SE tall, square furnace stack. Roof has 4 wide flat-headed 4-light dormers below the ridge, formerly vents.
INTERIOR: rolled steel trusses; the ends divided by cross walls, the N end has a stone stair, the S end has the base of the furnace stack.
HISTORY: originally included as carpenters' shop, seasoning room, central coopers' shop and store, and first-floor N offices. The coopers were displaced from the Old Cooperage (qv) by the Naval Ordnance Department from 1891. The external design of the new Cooperage followed that of the earlier buildings at Royal William, and it is included for its architectural quality and group value with the rest of the Yard, a unique planned industrial enterprise.
