About Guinan
The National Inventory rates Guinan Regional, one of 35 in Athboy. Guinan dates from 1880–1900. 22 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The modest form of this building is enhanced by the retention of many modest features. The simple timber shopfront is an interesting addition and is representative of the modest form of many commercial outlets in early twentieth century Ireland.

Questions about Guinan
Is Guinan on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 14324040).
Can you visit Guinan?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Guinan built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1880–1900.
Is Guinan protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
