Why it mattered
Provincial House — An tSráid Mhór matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Set back from the street, this former bank closed in the 1960s. The building is an interesting mix of materials with red brick walls creating a visual and textural contrast against the classically influenced render quoins and window surrounds. Its symmetrical façade is greatly enhanced by the unusual groupings of windows and a central chimneystack. The building makes a strong contribution to the architectural value of the surrounding streetscape. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
