Allied Irish Bank

Terraced four-bay three-storey former house, built c.1880, with integral carriage arch. Now in use as a bank. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and corbelled eaves course. Smooth render to upper storey walls with rendered quoins. Channelled render to ground floor with stone plinth. Rendered fascia board supported by pilasters with console brackets. Replacement windows with stucco surrounds. Timber panelled door with overlight. Cast-iron railings on limestone plinth to street. Stone wheel guards to carriage arch opening.

This striking building makes a positive impact on the main thoroughfare, JKL Street, in Edenderry. Its importance as a bank is carried through in the ornate detailing of the acanthus leaves to the scroll in the console brackets and the decorative stucco surround to the windows. The carriage arch with its stone wheel guardsare interesting features of street furniture.
