Geashill Railway Station

Detached three-bay single-storey former worker's house, built c.1856, with gabled entrance porch to front elevation. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, some cast-iron rainwater goods and a yellow brick chimneystack. Coursed rubble limestone walls with limestone quoins. Flat-arched window openings with granite sills. Square-headed door opening to porch.

Geashill Station opened in 1856 and serviced the estate village of Geashill and surrounding areas. Geashill station is located on the Portarlington to Tullamore section of the Athlone Branch of the Great Southern and Western Railway. This once busy station ceased to operate public passenger services in 1963 and continued to transport goods, mostly cattle, until 1979. Indeed so busy was the station transporting cattle that approximately 50 wagons of cattle would be transported from here every day and special cattle pens were constructed to accommodate them. As a once vital part of the historic infrastructure of the area, it is of social significance. This cottage is located beside the warehouse and station masters house and together the three structures form an important group of related structures and contribute to the architectural heritage of County Offaly.
