Roscommon Courthouse


Roscommon Courthouse is a judicial facility in Roscommon, County Roscommon, Ireland.

History

The courthouse, which was designed by Sir Richard Morrison in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1832. Following a major fire, which gutted the building, it was restored under the architectural guidance of Christopher Mulvany in 1883. The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Roscommon County Council. The county council moved to County Hall in December 2015.
