The National Inventory rates Proules House Regional, one of 83 in Carrickmacross. Its record dates Proules House to 1840–1845. 25 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This former fever hospital is testimony to the work of the Poor Law Unions in caring for the destitute of Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century. The survival of its clear form and much of its original fabric enhances the architectural significance of the building.

Questions about Proules House
Is Proules House on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 41310003).
Can you visit Proules House?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Proules House built?

Is Proules House 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.
