began a few years later. During World War II the building served as a barracks for the Irish Army, and was later used a refuge for 88 displaced German children. From 1950 it operated as a
Tuberculosis Sanatorium, and prior to its present function served for a time as Killybegs Hotel and Catering College.
Very elegant building.
ReplyDeleteSchools everywhere looking similar. Nice shots, nice building.
ReplyDeleteWell they've certainly put this old beauty to good use Bill, they don't build them to last like this anymore. I sometimes wonder what the glass sky-rises they build these days will look like in 100 years time!
ReplyDeleteA lot of history and uses to this place. I do like the architecture.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful building; old, and well-preserved.

ReplyDeleteNice and long education history. This looks so much more like a school to me than the building the other day!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about the history of these places and they are in such good condition too!
ReplyDeleteIt's good these buildings are still used. Another one that has stood the test of time.
