Why it was built
The record classifies vent pipe — COMMONS as vent pipe. It does not safely state the first owner's purpose beyond that use, so this first account does not borrow a story from a namesake.
People and work
No architect, builder, owner, worker or resident is named in the saved wording. Those people remain unknown until the linked official record or another source identifies them.
How it changed
The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.
What survives
The public record still identifies the place as vent pipe. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.
Why it mattered
vent pipe — COMMONS matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Vent pipes are unusual and becoming increasingly rare in Ireland. The design and detail of this vent is similar to contemporary cast-iron lamp standards of the late nineteenth-century. The simple form of this functional object is enhanced by the fluting to the base. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
