1896 – Northern Bank, Dungloe, Co. Donegal

Architect: Godfrey W. Ferguson

Wonderfully eccentric bank branch from a time when so many branches were in fairly standard neo-classical, 5-bay or 3-bay design. Sadly demolished. Described by Alistair Rowan in 1979 as “The only building of any value in Dungloe, the Northern Bank office by the bridge, built in 1886 by G.W. Ferguson, has recently been demolished. It had a bold slate pyramid roof and was boldly detailed in granite.”
