Dundrum Courthouse matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Set on a prominent corner site, this simple attractive building retains many features which are essential to its original character including timber sliding sash windows, some internal timber shutters and cut limestone detailing, the latter exhibiting fine craftsmanship. It is an attractive example of a school building of the first half of the nineteenth century. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
