Why it mattered
post box — Upper Grange matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The simple Gaelic lettering of the P & T emblem adds an artistic quality to this early example of mass produced functional objects. The emblem is significant as it illustrates the growing confidence of the Irish Free State, replacing the royal insignia found on post boxes belonging to an earlier era. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
