What is recorded here
O Gealbháin in Listowel is only one bay wide, yet its pubfront squeezes in mosaic, coloured glass, Celtic flourishes and little paired columns. It's the fellow who brings an accordion into a packed snug and says, 'I'll take up no room.'
Terraced single-bay three-storey house, built c. 1840, now also in use as public house. Renovated, c. 1920, with timber pilaster pubfront, attributed to Michael Reidy from Killarney, inserted to ground floor having projecting consoles on paired colonnettes, dentilated moulded cornice, mosaic tiled fascia, Celtic Revival style motifs to glazing. Render façade enrichments attributed to Pat McAuliffe. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron downpipe.
