History

The building, which was designed by William Farrell in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1822.[1] It was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Leitrim County Council.[2] After the county council moved to County Hall in 1994, and the courts moved to modern facilities at Caddagh Glebe in 1997,[3] the building fell vacant but was converted for use as arts centre known as The Dock in 2005.[4][5]
