What is recorded here

Detached fourteen-bay three- and four-storey school building. Pitched artificial slate roofs with rendered chimneys. Rendered walls with moulded cornice, render quoins, incised plat bands at lintel and sill levels and limestone dressings to gables. Replacement segmental-headed windows with brick heads and stone sills. Gable-fronted projecting porch with cut limestone dressings and cresting to slated roof. Limestone wall to front of site. Crucifixion to east gable.

This building is prominently-sited on the eastern approach to Thurles town centre. It is a long sweep of relatively-high structures whose social importance lies in its use as a convent school for almost century and a half. Its continuous cornice and segmental-arch window headsunite what is a very large structure.
