House in Ryan's Buildings, County Cork

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Terrace of sixteen three-bay single-storey former artisan houses, built c. 1885. Pitched tile roofs having rendered chimneystacks. Yellow brick walls with red brick lintels to openings. Replacement uPVC windows and timber matchboard doors.

The scale and form of this group make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. These houses are representative of the architectural design and materials employed in the construction of artisans dwellings in the latter part of the nineteenth century in Ireland. The materials utilised in the construction of these buildings, such as the yellow brick and red brick add colour and textural interested to the urban landscape.
