Place & story
Changing purposes behind a decorated front
The architectural inventory dates the former house at 31 Denny Street to about 1810. It served as Tralee’s post office from 1887 until 1910 and was later used as the Grand Hotel. Its three-storey front includes decorative stucco above the first-floor windows, moulded horizontal bands and a limestone entablature at ground level. A metal canopy projects over the entrance, where double timber doors sit beneath a fanlight. [2]
