Ballymore Eustace Garda Síochána Station is a fine and well-maintained building on a symmetrical plan that retains most of its original character. The building, which is set back from the line of the street, thus adding incident to the regular streetline, is composed of graceful proportions and is dominated by a central gabled projecting bay. The building retains most of its original fabric and materials, including timber sash fenestration and a slate roof, and it is possible that the interior also retains early salient fittings of note. The building is of considerable social and historic interest as one of the earliest civic buildings in the locality.
