1874 – St Saviour’s Dominican Church, Waterford

A curious church, the classical facade marred by the asymmetrical placing of the belltower, the entire building feels disjointed. Designed by George Goldie, who had previously designed many churches in Ireland including the Cathedral in Ballaghaderreen, and local churches in Ballymote and Gurteen. The exterior of the building is of variable quality – the main facade is well modelled while the corner tower and side elevation are much less pleasing. The interior, although highly decorated, is dark and forbidding.
