What is recorded here
Detached four-bay two-storey former dispensary, built c.1900, with two-bay single-storey section to south and red brick canted bay to front. Now a health centre and house. Set back from the road. Hipped slate roof to front. Rendered chimneystacks with terracotta pots and cast-iron rainwater goods. Snecked limestone walls, repointed, with red brick string course, dog tooth eaves course and quoins. Moulded red brick window surrounds to timber sash windows with limestone sills. Round-headed door opening with hoodmoulding, moulded red brick surround, fanlight and replacement timber panelled door. Set behind wrought-iron gate railing on rendered plinth wall. Rendered outbuilding in rear yard bounded by wall.
Continuity of use is a major feature of this significant building, with its current function as a health centre, following its original function of dispensary. This ensures that it remains an important social feature in the village. The finely crafted elevations with their contrasting red brick and limestone make this structure an appealing eye catcher in the Daingean streetscape.
