@MacCormaic @FearStairLmk I think that was a great and accurate description and one which the city should actively use to promote its Georgian built heritage. It was clearly meant in terms of the city been the most westerly renaissance city outside of the continent.

@FearStairLmk Which was demolished in 1892 shortly before this pocture was taken

[Patrick Mc Sweeney @pms2009]

@FearStairLmk This is another picture of it. It’s looks as thought it was taken from a demolished building in this image. its a fluted column so it’s not from theHSE building in Catherine st (anyway that building predates this building) I wonder was it from the Mont-de-Piété building demolish

@tararoonies Yea it’s now included as a protected structure on the new draft development plan.

[Patrick Mc Sweeney @pms2009]

@A2Architects You’d like to think so,
but it had all the appearance of concrete to my eye.

[Patrick Mc Sweeney @pms2009]

@A2Architects 👍🏻..We’re all agreed that it’s a gem of a building though. Welll done for highlighting it.

[Patrick Mc Sweeney @pms2009]

@A2Architects Don’t know the window heads exhibit similar evidence. I’ve noticed evidence of wigging on a number of georgian buildings in Limerick. It may well have been the case that only the window and door heads were embellished this way. But I think this whole facade may have been wigged.

[Patrick Mc Sweeney @pms2009]

@A2Architects 👍🏻Image from google earth. 5 bays as well. It’s a real gem
