What is recorded here
Detached four-bay two-storey former national school, built c.1840. Later converted to domestic and commercial use. Disused shopfront to north-east elevation and garage to east. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with shopfront, c.1930, to north-east elevation comprising recessed glazed timber panelled door with overlight, flanked by display windows, surmounted by rendered fascia, cornice and brackets. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber panelled and glazed door to house. House is set perpendicularly to the street.
This house, formerly the first national school in Ballintober and also a court house, is full of character. Originally a single-storey school building, in the early twentieth century it became a shop: 'J. & C. Daly & Co., Grocers and Drapery' and the second storey was added for use as a storeroom. The shopfront, with its rendered fascia and plaques within the stall risers, is well maintained as are the sash windows and early twentieth-century garage.
