At the time of the photograph in 1999 it was derelict, but on Google Street View in 2008 it has been impressively converted into a house. On the Leeds City Council Leodis website, however, it shows a 2005 picture of the building undergoing renovation.

It was built in 1867 on land donated by Mr. Horn of Fleet Mills."
