South Infirmary — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Five-bay three-storey hospital complex, c. 1762, with three-bay fronts and various later single- and two-storey extensions and a detached lodge, bounded by rubble sandstone and limestone wall. Slate pitched and hipped-roof to main block. Flat roof with rooflights to prefab unit.

Important as the central and earliest building of one of Cork's first hospitals, the Trustees of which were incorporated in 1722. The boundary wall retains its original appearance in areas, but the principal buildings have been much altered, with the loss of windows, doors, and many internal features. The building's continuing use as a hospital adds further to its significance.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
