Place & story
An office and its tramway connection
The former Allman’s Distillery office in Moanaroane, Bandon, dates from about 1825. Its three-storey frontage has windows diminishing in size upwards, a round-headed stair window and an elaborate entrance with sidelights and a decorative fanlight. The architectural inventory also records tram tracks in the rear yard. It associates those remains with a goods connection between the distillery and Bandon railway station, linking the office’s architectural details with the town’s industrial transport. [2]
