What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former prison building with six-bay front ground floor, built c.1840. Now in use as outbuilding, with greenhouse extension to rear elevation, and sited in garden to convent. Hipped slate roof with cut limestone chimneystack. Coursed snecked limestone walls. Square-headed timber sliding sash windows, six-over-six pane to ground floor and part of first, and mainly three-over-three pane to first floor, with stone sills. Square-headed timber battened door.

This building forms part of Nenagh's former prison complex, designed by John B. Keane, which is a notable aspect of the town's urban landscape. Its form and size are in keeping with the surrounding buildings and are enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows.
