Why it mattered
Croom House — Church Road matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Croom House, formerly known as Kings is an important house within the architectural heritage of Limerick County. Architectural details such as the pillared porch underline the architectural significance of the house. The well-known Gothic Revival church architect, J.J. McCarthy, carried out alterations, in 1880, for Henry Lyons. The clerk of works for this work was P.F. Monahan and the builder was J.S. Ryan & Son, of Waterford. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
