1875 – Former Hibernian Insurance Building, Waterford
Architect: John H. Brett
Elaborate commercial premises designed in a Ruskinian Gothic as offices for the Hibernian Insurance Company. In good repair, the building has decorative polychromic brickwork above a granite groundlevel. The richness of the details and materials used was synptomatic of banks and insurance companies of this period as they attempted to impress the rising Catholic middleclasses.
