1903 – Church of the Sacred Heart, Roscommon
Architect: Walter G. Doolin & P.J. Kilgallen / O’Callaghan &
“This is an old-fashioned country church,
Constructed between 1904 and 1907,
Extensive remodelling of an earlier house from the 1820s,
Simple, almost domestic townhall for Swinford.

Seen here before the addition of the extra storey of 1939 flattened the highly original composition.
This church is considered as one of the best designed by R.M.
Unbuilt proposal for a large railway terminus to serve a trans-atlantic liner terminal that would have seen Liverpool ousted not just as the transatlantic departure point for British passenger traffic,
Church in an amalgam of Irish and Germanic Romanesque,
