Architecture
Prominently located at Crossguns Bridge, this unusual building was erected about 1930 as a garage, but served as the headquarters of Ireland's first commercial airline, Iona Airways, which operated between 1931 and 1995. The enterprise was started here by the entrepreneur, Hugh Cahill, who initially had a motor company.
