Appraisal
This house, originally a private dwelling, has been used as a Garda Station since the 1950s. It retains many original features, primarily six-over-six horned sash windows and Wyatt windows to rear. Fronting onto East Green, below the Church of Ireland, this property reflects the historic landscaping of Clara town.
