Appraisal
This parochial house is nestled in the beautiful grounds to the rear of Saint Rynagh's church. A sweeping pathway with roses leads up to hooded segmental-arched door opening, which is flanked by canted bay windows. The stucco mouldings above the windows and door add a particularly attractive aspect to the architecture of this late nineteenth-century building. The parochial house plays an active social and religious role within the community of Banagher.
