Place & story
Courtroom and offices
The architectural inventory records Duleek Courthouse on Main Street in Commons townland. Its T-shaped plan combines a double-height courtroom with two-storey office accommodation. Squared limestone walls are finished with carefully dressed corner stones and an eaves course. At the entrance, timber double doors stand within a carved Doric surround beneath a fanlight. These recorded features show how the courthouse combined a substantial public room with smaller administrative spaces. [2]
