History
The building was originally constructed as a reformatory school for young offenders in around 1820.[1] It was substantially rebuilt to the designs of William Harte, the County Surveyor, in 1868[1] before being converted into a barracks for the British Army in around 1900 and then was taken over by the Free State Army on formation of the Irish Free State in 1922.[2] In 1930, Donegal County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Lifford Courthouse,[3] acquired the property for use as its meeting place and administrative headquarters.[2][4]

gollark: It's $1 per month plus a SIM card wired to a "fingerprint reader" somewhere, so not that much.
gollark: It may actually be less than the current cost, even.
