vent pipe — Prospect Row

The record classifies vent pipe — Prospect Row 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.

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.

The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.

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.

vent pipe — Prospect Row matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This cast-iron vent shaft is a notable and positive addition to the streetscape, due to the slender form of this functional object. The fluted base and use of cast-iron are interesting features of the structure. Vent pipes such as these are becoming increasingly rare throughout Ireland, particularly in the urban landscape. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
