Former - Irish Nationwide Building Society ( Defunct since 2011) , Castle Street, Roscrea
Terraced five-bay three-storey neo-classical style bank, built c. 1870, with slightly advanced end bays and single-bay single-storey extension to south-east having integral carriage arch.
This building is of apparent architectural quality and occupies a place amongst a number of similarly well-executed buildings. Carved elements such as the doorcases and rope mouldings enliven the solid stone construction. The masonry and detailing are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen and the diversity of treatment of the stone as well as the diversity of openings add interest to the structure.
