A possible 17th century Quakers Meeting House is situated at the N end of Bridge Street formerly known as Coote Street on the W side of the road near the market square of the town of Mountrath. The foundry house, formerly a Quaker's Meeting House possibly incorporates an earlier seventeenth century house (information from R. Loeber; SMR File 1995). This house was originally built c. 1715 by Gerhon Boat and today stands three storeys high with three gable fronted roofs which face onto Coote Street (info. R. Loeber 1995). This building was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage in 2002 as a 'Detached five-bay three-storey triple gable-fronted house, dated 1713, with remains of shopfront to part ground floor. Renovated c.1997. Detached coach house, c.1715, to site. Triple gable-fronted slate roof with nap rendered chimneystacks with clay pots and cast-iron rainwater goods' (NIAH 2002-).
