What is recorded here

Detached double-pile fourteen-bay three-storey former mill, built c.1880, with recent porch to front (south-west) elevation. Now in use as hotel. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Rubble sandstone walls with brick quoins. Elliptical-headed window openings having brick sills, voussoirs and block-and-start surrounds with timber casement windows. Set within mill complex.
An imposing building with a long front, which forms an integral part of the former woollen mill complex, established by the Mahoney family in the 1820s. It provided an important source of employment for local people, and expanded and developed throughout the subsequent one hundred and fifty years, until its closure in the 1970s. It retains many notable features and adds colour and textural variations to the surrounding area. This fine complex is an important reminder of Blarney's industrial heritage.
