Before being a trade and hardware store, the site was the location of the Magnet, or County Cinema.

The building is not a protected structure but is within the Glaslough Street Architectural Conservation Area.

The plans, as submitted to Monaghan County Council are seeking to build a four-storey building over basement parking to include two retail or office units and 37 residential apartments.
