Central Cinema

Attached three-bay two-storey Art Deco-style cinema, opened 1946, with rendered façade fronting barrel-roofed auditorium. Corrugated-iron-covered barrel roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Channelled rendered façade with pair of round-topped banded fins. Square-headed door opening below cantilevered canopy with glazed timber double doors having overlights. Street fronted.

This cinema is a typical example of twentieth-century cinema architecture in Ireland with a stylish façade influenced by the Art Deco movement disguising a wholly utilitarian auditorium. The cinema closed in 1974 and, although showing signs of neglect, it remains a striking landmark in Main Street.
