The property is a highly appealing and extensively detailed two-storey Italianate Palazzo-style Victorian bank building. The late nineteenth-century construction (c. 1874) retains its early form and character. This building was designed for the Bank of Ireland by the noted mid-to-late nineteenth century architect Sandham Symes (1807-1894), architect of choice of the Bank of Ireland from c.1845 until c.1880, and reflects the typical architectural style favoured by Symes. |
