Ric barracks

What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey police sergeant's house, built c.1880, having segmental integral carriage arch to east end. Now private house. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge cresting and yellow brick chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render plinth and quoins. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with masonry sills, and having cast-iron railings to window to west gable. Square-headed door opening to front with timber battened door and overlight and render step. Two-storey outbuildings to rear, having pitched slate roofs and red brick and rubble stone walls with square-headed timber openings. Parking area to front of house. Garda station attached to east end.

This house, with the adjoining Garda station, comprises an interesting part of the streetscape in Shantonagh village and was apparently built as a unit. It adds to the variety of structures in this rural settlement. It is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows and timber battened door, and by the use of decorative details such as the render quoins and ridge cresting.
