Here is a building for our age: a former "fever hospital" built in 1841. The beautiful stone building was more recently a nursing home. When the foliage is peeled back you will find nine widows across the top floor and eight (four each side of the door) on the ground floor. The H-plan property sits in its own land with entrance via ashlar gate piers. The building is on Dromod Road on the outskirts of town. 
Plus Beautiful, well-proportioned building that has a place in Irish history. 
Minus It needs work and the reams of Tarmac speak of its public-serving past.
