What is recorded here

Detached U-plan five-bay single-storey Garda Síochána station, built 1928, with projecting end bays, and with entrance porch to west elevation. Hipped and pitched artificial slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with decorative render eaves course. Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, tripartite to centre, rear and end bays, latter in round-headed recesses. Timber panelled doors. Outbuilding to site has hipped slate roof, roughcast rendered walls, timber sash windows and timber doors.
This Garda Síochána station was built to a standardised design produced by the Office of Public Works and occupies the site of Kilboy Constabulary Barrack. Its distinctive form and modest scale are enhanced by the retention of features such as timber sash windows, slate roof and decorative eaves course. The external wall perpendicular to the building to the rear was a division between living and working quarters.
