Place & story

A porch of timber and iron

The former parochial house on Mill Street, Borrisokane, stands within Killeen townland. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates it to about 1890 and records its later use as a private house. Two parallel roof ridges give it an M-shaped roof profile. The recessed porch has carved timber and ornamental cast iron, while sash windows, a fanlight over the door and decorative corner plasterwork retain elements of the original exterior. [2]
