White Memorial Theatre

Detached gable-fronted three-bay Wesleyan Methodist chapel, dated 1843. Now in use as theatre and with later two-bay two-storey rendered extension to south and single-bay single-storey brick extension to north. Carved limestone distyle in antis Ionic portico with cornice and frieze and entrance flanked by windows, all openings flanked by pilasters and having pediment with vegetal antefixae. Carved limestone date plaque over entrance doorway. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and coloured glass windows. Square-headed entrance opening with timber panelled double-leaf door, having render cornice and brackets and approached by flight of limestone steps. Ornate cast-iron gates and railings on low cut limestone plinths.

Designed by William Tinsley, this modest building adds interest to the narrow streetscape and occupies a prominent site beside one of the entrance gates to Saint Mary's Church. It incorporates classical elements, such as the pediment and portico and shows evidence of fine stone-crafting in the date plaque, window surrounds and cornices. The building is testament to the variety of religious groupings in Clonmel.
