The Granary is one of the buildings on the Papineau estate. Unique in that it resembles a small rural church, the rectangular, one-and-a-half-storey brick structure has a vertical emphasis. It features a pointed arch, semi-circular blind windows and a balcony. The metal gable roof has flared eaves and is topped by a bell-turret. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
