Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / September 3 2003: Council vote will decide 19th-century building's fate

A vote by Sligo Borough Council next Monday will determine whether an early 19th-century building next door to the town's imposing courthouse can be demolished to make way for an ultra-modern development designed by Scottish architects Gordon Murray and Alan Dunlop. Though the council decided three weeks ago, by six votes to five, not to include the threatened Teeling House in its list of protected structures, some members who favour retaining it will attempt to reverse this decision.
