Monaghan Courthouse (1979)
Monaghan Courthouse (1979)
The Courthouse, built in 1829 with stone from the local mountain quarry at Eshnaglogh, is ‘a handsome modern building of hewn stone, containing spacious courtrooms and all requisite offices, and in every respect well suited to its purpose’. Brett describes it as a handsome, if rather heavy, courthouse built of unusually large blocks of well dressed yellowish stone. The pediment is carried on half-fluted Doric columns in antis, in the pediment a variant on the Hanoverian coat-of-arms. The lion and the unicorn are carved with uncommon crispness and vigour.
