About Sheehan
The National Inventory rates Sheehan Regional, one of 29 in Strokestown. Sheehan dates from 1810–1830. 27 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Sheehan's Chemist, situated on Bridge Street near the centre of town, retains a fine example of a 1930's style shopfront. The carved timber lettering, made by the present owner's father, is an example of local skill reflecting contemporary design trends and certainly adds character to this modest terraced house.

Questions about Sheehan

Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.

Is Sheehan 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.
