Limestone date plaque with brick hood moulding to front eleveation. Random stone wall with cast-iron railings and squares stone piers with pyramidal caps bounding front of site.
This former parochial hall, set back from Castle Street within its own grounds, is a colourful addition to the surrounding area, being the only red brick building on the street. As a building that is used by the local community it is socially important. Its attention to detail and decorative elements, including stained glass windows, brickwork, hood mouldings and terracotta chimney pots, make it a notable feature in Mohill.
