Work underway on landmark Kildare building
Work is underway on a landmark property in Kildare Town.
It was sold earlier this year for €555,000.
Work is being carried out this week to remove and replace the existing windows.
The property was once the home of the Superintendent of the RIC Barracks which was located across the street.
Plans were lodged in 2019 with Kildare Co Council to make changes to the protected structure.
Changes include plague advertising signage to the main entrance and minor internal alterations to accommodate bedrooms to ground and first floor levels.
There was once a tennis court in the back garden and the garden wall is the original boundary wall of Kildare.
The first private telephone in Kildare was installed in Virginia Lodge.
The property includes an impressive raised double-height conservatory.
