🏭 Heritage-listed building

NIAH building record

Built: c.1840 · NIAH rating: Regional

The cast-iron railing on the parapet adds artistic interest to this building which has historic associations with the railway, established in 1844, as it served workers of the Inchicore railway works to the south-west. It occupies a prominent position on Sarsfield Road, an early road from Kilmainham to Chapelizod. It adds to the typological and architectural variety of this largely residential street. The well-executed shopfront is indicative of the social function of the building.
