What is recorded here

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey former house, built c.1850 and altered c.1950. Fronting directly onto street, now in use as a garage. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, yellow brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roof hidden by parapet. Smooth rendered walls with concrete coping to parapet. Square-headed window openings with painted sills and replacement timber casement windows. Large square-headed vehicular opening to façade with timber battened doors. Square-headed door opening with double overlight and glazed timber battened door. Petrol pumps to front site. Garage to rear with corrugated-iron roof.

Dick Conroy's Garage stands on the main road of Tullamore, providing a view that is fast disappearing throughout Ireland. Small-scale urban garage and mechanics are now under threat from generic multi-national forecourts. The structure itself has been adapted to be used as a garage with the large square-headed entrance allowing access for cars. The form and proportion of the structure indicates an original domestic use, though this has now been changed.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
