Windows in north wall have square heads and brick surrounds and relieving arches. Loop window at basement level of north wall with roughly-dressed stone surround.

The stone built garda station and former court house in Dromod forms an important group and has a dominant and imposing presence in the village. The former court house is now used as garda accommodation. The scale, architectural form and choice of building materials results in a structure of architectural merit.
