Carrick-on-Suir Courthouse — Greenside South matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This important mid-nineteenth-century civic building follows a standard courthouse design attributed to William Caldbeck, and is one of a number of similar buildings in South Tipperary. Fine craftsmanship is exhibited in the heavy string and plinth courses. It forms part of a functional group with the adjacent Garda station. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
