Description
Five-bay two-storey Garda station, built c.1935. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render plat-bands and plinth and brick dressings to windows and door. Timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows, some paired to first floor, with limestone sills. Segmental-arch doorway with replacement timber door having leaded coloured glass overlight.
Appraisal
Well-maintained and retaining its original character and features, this public building blends with the traditional streetscape of the town but is distinguished by the red brick dressings to the front façade.
