1955 – Saville Engineering, Dublin Rd., Kilkenny
Architect: Nolan & Quinlan
Purveyors of agricultural machinery – perhaps related to Saville’s who imported International Harvester into Ireland at their factory at Santry, and whose building was completed by the same architects. The showroom features slanted windows, and the exterior was largely finished in wood and stone slab. A low building, the wooden sign structure is the only vertical element. A more industrial sawtooth roofed building to the rear. The showroom remains intact, but the canopy and pump structure are gone.
