water pump — DROMIN

The record classifies water pump — DROMIN as water pump. 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 water pump. 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.

water pump — DROMIN matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Having been well maintained, this fine hydrant remains in use and is a fine example of the mass produced cast-iron items produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Its functional design is enlivened by the incorporation simple artistic details that could be easily replicated during the casting process. Such items of roadside furniture are becoming increasingly rare features of the Irish landscape. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
