Appraisal
Located at a corner site on the main junction in Geashill, this building occupies a central position. It has a commanding presence accentuated by the fact that it stands alone. The combination of yellow brick, tooled limestone and stucco window dressings creates an aesthetically pleasing vista for the approaches leading to this picturesque village.
