Built as an Independent Church in Gothic Revival style circa 1852, it was converted in 1954 into a Library. The former manse of 1863 is the Sligo County Museum, housing collections of Yeat’s works. It also has a copy of the Nobel Prize awarded to Yeats and some of his unpublished lettters. This is the architects only work in Ireland – they were from England.
