Still unoccupied and slowly deteriorating. The Clothworkers was one of the guilds of wealthy London merchants charged with improving the town of Coleraine during the early 17th century. Following the construction of the new bridge across the River Bann they commissioned the same architect who had built the bridge,John Lynn to design and construct this building in 1844. It was built at a cost of £2000 and became known as the Clothworkers, or Davock's Hotel.
