What is recorded here
Detached five-bay single-storey Garda Síochána station, built c.1940, with projecting gabled end bays. Set within its own walled yards. Hipped newly slated roofs with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Broken base timber pediment to gables. Dog tooth brick eaves course. Pebbledashed walls with smooth plinth. Round-headed window openings to gables with rendered surround, uPVC replacement windows throughout. Square-headed doors with overlights, with recessed surrounds. Wrought-iron pedestrian gates to yards.
This Garda Síochána station is an example of mid twentieth-century architecture. Though much original fabric has been lost, the structure retains its obvious architectural form and design. The eaves course adds a subtle decorative touch to an otherwise restrained facade.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
