From The Dublin Penny Journal,
An unusual church built in 1811 and further renovated in 1911. A simple rectangular building with a three bay classical façade.
No trace of the medieval Franciscan Friary of Drogheda survives. In 1798 the Franciscans moved to the present site in Laurence Street.
The former bank, constructed for the Belfast Banking Co., is built of limestone ashlar with an elaborate façade at street-level.
Built by Benjamin Whitworth for the benefit of the citizens of Drogheda, this vigourous composition in Lombardo-Romanesque is a good contribution to the street-scape.
A fine and vigorous building by Sandham Symes who also designed a fine branch for the same bank in Kilkenny.
Fine pair of mid eighteenth century houses. Recently cleaned and restored, the buildings lack their original glazing bars. The gable end to No.
